Skilsaw, pioneers in the world of circular saws since their inception in 1924, have once again raised the bar with the launch of their latest innovation – the 10 – 1/4 in. TrueHVL Cordless Worm Drive Saw (SPTH70M – 01). As the sole manufacturer of cordless worm drive circular saws, Skilsaw continues to set new standards in power, accuracy, endurance, and durability, making this saw a top – notch choice for industry professionals.
Why Choose a Worm Drive Saw?
When it comes to powerful and reliable saws for any cutting job, worm drive circular saws are the clear choice. These saws offer higher torque than direct drive saws, thanks to their larger gear teeth. While some saws may claim to be “worm drive – style” with a rear – handle design, they simply cannot match the performance of the original worm drive saw.
Worm drives typically feature a rear – motor design with the blade on the left. This configuration not only increases visibility during cutting but also enhances precision. With all the necessary features for quick and accurate cutting applications, worm drive saws are the go – to option for professionals.
The Skilsaw 10 – 1/4” TrueHVL Cordless Worm Drive Saw stands out with its impressive 3 – 11/16” depth of cut, allowing it to cut through 4x material in a single pass at a 90° angle. Additionally, it offers a 0 – 51° bevel capacity, enabling users to create a wide variety of bevel cuts according to the specific requirements of each project. As the only manufacturer of cordless worm drive saws, Skilsaw combines the raw power and durability of a traditional worm drive saw with the convenience and portability of a cordless design, redefining the cutting potential of circular saws.
User – Friendly Design
Worm drive saws are meticulously designed with the user’s needs in mind. The blade is positioned on the left side, providing a clear view of the cutting path and making it easier to track cuts accurately. Their narrower profile and the extended distance between the blade and handle allow these saws to maneuver into tighter spaces, while also offering users a longer reach.
Constructed from heavy – duty magnesium, a professional – grade material known for its strength and durability, Skilsaw saws are built to last. The combination of the durable magnesium body, a powerful brushless motor, and an electric brake gives this saw record – breaking worm drive power and exceptional jobsite durability. Moreover, an integrated dust extraction system helps keep the workplace clean when used in conjunction with a vacuum.
Unbeatable Endurance & Battery Life
Worm drive saws are powerful tools that require a robust power source to match their capabilities. Skilsaw’s TrueHVL battery technology is specifically engineered for worm drive saws, delivering the maximum power output needed for tough cuts. Each cell in the battery is wrapped in temperature – controlling material, which not only prevents overheating but also extends the run time of the saw.
The kit version of this tool (SPTH70M – 11) comes with one TrueHVL Lithium – Ion Battery (SPTH15), a charger, a blade, and an auxiliary handle. For optimal performance and durability, the TrueHVL Cordless Worm Drive Saw works best when paired with the 48V 5.0Ah Lithium Ion battery (SPTH – 15) and the 76240 Skilsaw blade. With this combination, users can expect long – lasting power and reliable performance on the jobsite.
