rbacon705 Posted January 17, 2017 Report Share Posted January 17, 2017 I wonder whether it will ever make it to Australia. It would be our first worm drive. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bremon Posted January 17, 2017 Report Share Posted January 17, 2017 Is that the same as their hypoid corded saw? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimboS1ice Posted January 17, 2017 Report Share Posted January 17, 2017 Is that the same as their hypoid corded saw?Looks a little different the motor position on the hypoid is parallel to the blade this one is perpendicular Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffmcmillan Posted January 17, 2017 Report Share Posted January 17, 2017 Not only is the motor pretty clearly positioned like a sidewinder, but they call it a "Rear handle circular saw." I'm disappointed I recall that quite a few of the non-skil worm drives are actually hypoid saws now. Maybe because the cost of sintering fancy shaped hypoid gears is comparable to a cheap worm and spur setup now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tpamatmat Posted January 17, 2017 Report Share Posted January 17, 2017 Interesting, a sidewinder with a worm drive handle configuration. Hopefully a sub shows up with one so I can take it for a spin 4 hours ago, Logan said: Looks pretty cool I would love to go to WOC they awesome have some cool stuff I know, right.

I have never seen that type of core drilling, even in the rental places around here. Probably proprietary...??

That being said I still want it because the two batteries are in that handle in front of your hand instead of below your hand so it probably has the familiar mag 77 feel. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think they can reproduce the torque at the RPM's necessary to make worm drive a cordless tool without it weighing 20lbs. If it were that simple I'm sure it would have been done by now, but maybe 60v can make it happen but bulk/weight is still likely an issue. My old Skil Worm weighs 16lbs as a corded tool. I just want a blade left, closer to corded levels of power tool with the worm drive handle. So much more natural IMO, light weight and ergonomic. Perhaps they'll make the next 20v 6.5 update this way with improved motor and ergonomics. One can hope. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldn't agree more, blade left all the way. I don't want to start a worm drive vs. sidewinder debate but for me the Porter Cable 743 is the best of both worlds. A light weight sidewinder with the blade on the left. Ripping sheets of ply(on the stack or ground) while walking down the line on your knees is so much easier with a left handed blade. Just easier in general to visualize the cut line in any situation. Though I should invest in a track saw, I hear nothing but good things about that set up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JMG Posted January 19, 2017 Report Share Posted January 19, 2017 I am somewhat surprised that I haven't seen any aftermarket saw bases to mod a saw for use on a track. I have been thinking of making something up from a piece of Corian that I could fasten onto one of my saws, but as I do not currently have any tracks to work with, and the tool budget is pretty much shot, it will have to wait awhile.
