Skilsaw Model 77 Super Duty 7-1/4' Circular Saw - vintage worm type 13. Since there's no bolt holding this stack of 9 pieces together, it's been a nightmare trying to get it all in place so far. Skil 5380-01 Skilsaw Corded 7-1/4' 12 Amp Circular Saw Tested Working Great £7.02. SKIL SKILSAW 7.25 INCH (7-1/4') Circular Saw Model SPT67WE NEW No Box. In 1924, The Mitchell Electric Handsaw Company created the very first Portable Circular Saw, powered with a unique gearing system utilizing a worm drive. That makes no sense: someone has to assemble this in the factory, and it needs to be easy for them in production.Īny suggestions? And, if anyone has one of these, could you double check the order of parts above? The dang manual doesn't show a decent picture of this assembly. Newer cordless tools and brushless tools may be an exception to the switch compatibility, since many of the tools use fancy circuitry now.They called this new portable wonder, the Skilsaw.

Given the number of tools affected, many of the different companies switches are likely compatible. I’m not certain, but there must have been something inherently wrong with the design or manufacturing over a period because it effected a ridiculously large number of manufacturers. Last Time I was at Lowes they actually had replacement switches and cords for Skil Saws in the tool crib.Īs far as the switch sticking, on of the major Electrical Switch manufacturers, Eaton, had a recall on some of their switches that effected most major power tool manufacturers, and witch covered a ridiculous number and type of tools. The power tool companies may have had the part made with a proprietary model number, but the switches usually have specs on them, and you can look thru images of switches to find a likely replacement. Most power tool switches are standardized to an extent, and getting a replacement shouldn’t be a problem.

This is even more of a lost treasure among Skilsaw worm-drive saw fanatics, as the motor is rated 18 amps (!). This did not last as long sales-wise as the #67, #77 and #87 worm-drivers (#67 and #87 became #367 and #825 respectively by about 1952, when Skilsaw, Inc. The other worm-drive saw I wanted to mention here was the #107, with its 9-7/8' dia.

which meant if production of the saw began on December 1, 1986, it would no longer be made after March 1, 1987. On the box, it says this edition would be made for 90 days only. Right, this is a model 77 gussied up in faux gold housing (except the handle grip), in celebration of the model's 50th year (1937-87). One of these is a still unopened model 77:50 Commemorative Edition worm-drive saw. While perusing eBay as I type this, I found two rare Skil worm-drive saws.
