The SKILSAW SPT77W-01 is a powerful 15-amp worm drive circular saw known for its durability and torque, earning it the nickname "the saw that built America.". It features a Dual-Field motor designed to increase cooling and extend tool life.
Key Considerations:
* Worm Drive vs. Sidewinder: Worm drive saws, like the SPT77W-01, offer more torque, making them ideal for tough cutting tasks. However, they are generally heavier than sidewinder saws. The blade is also on the left side, which can affect how you follow a cut line, especially when working on sawhorses.
* Weight: The SPT77W-01 weighs approximately 14.2 lbs without the blade, cord, and wrench, which may reduce user fatigue for some but can be noticeable for others.
* Durability: The saw is constructed with many metal components, including the blade guard, handle, and bevel lock, contributing to its reputation for durability. Some reviews mention it's built in China, with one user noting that while the design is solid, the fit and finish may not match older models.
* Features: It includes a Cut-Ready™ depth-of-cut system for quick adjustments, a 51° bevel capacity for various cuts, and an integrated rafter hook for convenient storage. The spindle lock facilitates blade installation.
Maintenance:
* Oil: Worm drive saws require oil for their gear train, which needs to be checked and potentially replaced periodically.
