Background
The Skil HD77 is a worm drive circular saw with a 13 amp motor. The saw, which was first introduced in 2004, has a 7-1/4 inch blade diameter and is equipped with a high-speed steel blade. The motor can reach a no-load speed of 4400 RPM. The saw uses a worm drive gear system that offers high torque, reducing kickback in comparison to standard circular saws. For more precise operation, the gears are precision-machined and matched.
The saw includes a die-cast aluminum frame which ensures longevity, and a blade positioned on the left side for improved visibility during cuts. The rear handle features a textured grip for improved control and comfort. The aluminum footplate is designed to glide smoothly across work surfaces. The saw also includes a mechanism that prevents oil leaks in the gear housing. The saw's bevel and depth adjustments come with large levers and positive locks for quick and accurate settings. The saw also includes a push button for straightforward blade changes.
