Description
The SKIL 7-1/4 in. Worm Drive Circular Saw is a high-performance cutting solution built for professionals who demand power, precision, and durability on the job. Weighing just 11.5 lbs., this saw is 4 lbs. lighter than the classic SHD77, making it the lightest worm drive circular saw in SKIL’s lineup—without compromising performance.
Featuring SKIL’s legendary Worm Drive gearing system and the Dual-Field™ motor, this saw delivers maximum torque, cooler operation, and longer tool life. The rugged magnesium construction keeps the saw lightweight yet jobsite tough, while the Cut-Ready™ depth system ensures fast, accurate setup for a wide range of cuts.
With a 53° bevel capacity, an anti-snag lower guard, and a durable carbide-tipped blade, this saw is engineered to handle the most demanding framing, decking, and ripping applications.
