The SKIL SPT78W-01 is a corded worm drive circular saw with an 8-1/4 in. blade and a left-side blade position. It is made for framing, ripping sheet goods, and cutting thick wood. The 15-amp Dual-Field motor drives precision-machined worm drive gears.
Cut depth is up to 2-7/8 inches at 90 degrees and 2-1/4 inches at 45 degrees. The bevel range is 0 to 60 degrees, with bevel stops at 0 and 45 degrees. The left-side blade gives right-handed users a clear line of sight to the cut. A spindle lock speeds up blade changes, and the depth adjustment sets the cut for the material.
The gear and motor housings are die-cast aluminum, and the foot is steel. The saw weighs 18.5 pounds. It has an 8-foot cord and a heavy-duty 22-amp switch. It does not include an electric brake, laser, or dust collection.
