Bosch Worm Drive Saw $169 Shipped

I don't think I've ever seen it this low anywhere. This is a great worm drive circular saw and a great deal if you could use one.

Gotta watch your terminology on a computer board .. WORM drives have been obsolete for years.

you should add 'saw' to the title

 

[OmegaSiren]

Haha, you guys are right. I thought it'd be obvious with Bosch in the title but you can never be too careful.

does it cut worm holes?

What is the significance of a worm drive? I kinda always thought that circular saws were always directly connected to the motor through a simple shaft.

Worm drive = max amount of torque, it does, however add to the weight of the tool. I have Milwaukee's Worm Drive Circular, awesome tool but heavy. If you need a weekend light duty saw this isn't for you, if you want something that will take a beating and cut almost anything - this is the saw.

Worm drives also last longer, however, they do not generally win in the RPM race either.

[Plester]

that was a killer deal. skil makes the best worm drive saws. try a worm drive saw after some $49.95 black and decker heap o' and you will never go back. you won't see a carpenter/framer with anything but worm drives and if you do don't hire em.

At $208 now.

Another note on worm drive saws, the blade is on the left side of the tool, makes it much easier to see where you're cutting.
