The whole saw has a very heavy duty and has a purpose built feel to it.įor those not familiar with the design, a worm drive saw works with the motor mounted parallel with the blade. Both the bevel angle and depth levers are easy to set and there are easy to read indicators on each to show where you are at. There is also an easy to read oil level indicator on the saw. To prevent oil leaks, oil pressure relief bellows are used internally. The worm gears are precision machined and run in a continuous oil bath that keeps them both lubricated and cool. This saw has a powerful 15 Amp all ball bearing motor. The patented anti-snag lower blade guard helps to reduces snags when making narrow cut-offs and the blade guard automatically retracts on a 45 degree angle cut so it does not cause the saw to bind up. No more worries of trying to balance the saw when you are finished with the cut while you get situated with your next work piece. One of the things that we really liked was the folding hanging hook that is mounted on the back side of the saw that allows the saw to be hung up on a piece of 2x material when not in use. Just pull the trigger and go, this saw has no safeties or extra buttons to push! The trigger is a heavy duty 20A rated on-off style. The handles are comfortable to use and offer a good grip. There is very little plastic used on this saw with the only major pieces being the handles which are made of red ABS. The shoe or base of the saw is made of thick aircraft quality aluminum.
SKILSAW MODEL 77 TYPE 11 FULL
What this does is makes the saw durable yet a full two pounds lighter than the regular model SHD77. The motor & gear housings of the SKIL Mag 77 SHD77M are made of magnesium. Since Skilsaw was the company to first bring these types of cutting machines to the market, almost everyone mistakenly calls every other brand of circular saw a “Skilsaw” too! After more than seven decades of being on the market, it is a pretty safe assumption that a good many homes owe their construction to carpenters being dependent on their “Skilsaw.” Over the last 70+, there have been improvements and updates to the Skilsaw Model 77, but the fact is that it still shares in its original design. This new saw was called the Skilsaw Model 77. Using the Model E as its basis, a new improved worm drive saw was designed and started production in 1937. This saw featured a die-cast aluminum motor housing and was manufactured all the way up until 1939. In 1926, the company was renamed Skilsaw Inc., and a few years later in 1928 a major breakthrough was made with their development of the Skilsaw Model E Circular Saw. The original company that designed and manufactured the first ever electric handsaw was the Michel Electric Handsaw Company which was founded in 1924. PS: If all you want is the switch, then I would go with the site provided by "aghcollect", as it looks like a good source.Ĭreate an account or login in order to post a comment.Just to pay homage to what we are dealing with here, it is only fitting that we give a bit of the history of the SKIL Model 77 Skilsaw. When you call them, ask for customer service. Then they emailed a copy of the original parts diagram for my 1940's #77. I did this, and they nailed my saw down to the first and last years and month cf production.
SKILSAW MODEL 77 TYPE 11 SERIAL
Has this handle on your saw been modified? To find it's age, you will need to find as many numbers on it as you can, such as serial numbers, and contact skil with the link I'm providing you below. Yours looks like it could be that old, except for the handle. The first #77 skilsaw was introduced in 1937. I appreciate the advice and will let you know if it's fixed. When I went to get supplies to work on it, an electric motor tech said that the switches are usually dirty and the contacts worn. I find the saw easier to control than any other I've used. If I hold on to both handles, torque is no problem. If it shorted out there, the switch should still be good. section of you hardware & buy a small can of "Liquid Insulation" (or something like that) & coat the terminals. Separate the terminals you soldered, even it you have to file out a little solder. If you intend trying to sell it then perhaps it is better for parts. If you intend keeping it to use no price is too much. Pretty common saw and you need to weigh the part cost against the value of the finished product. Take my word.have a strong wrist when you pull the trigger. Very popular if you are doing post and beam construction. They actually require gear oil to keep them running. Try this place - the same type switches may have been used in different models but they show diagrams and descriptions
