Not sure if you are messin' or what, but a worm drive is somewhat like
a circular saw but they are slightly larger and instead of driving the blade directly with the motor, the blade is drive by a worm gear and shaft from the motor. It results in a very powerful and very smooth and somewhat quieter saw. it is very good for smooth and controlled cuts. |

My name is Craig, but after reading this post I think I'll change it. How
about Giarc???? cm wrote in message ... I was looking at some power saws on Ebay and on one of them they said that the saw was a worm drive. I dont understand this. Are the worms inside the saw? What do they do to make the saw work? The picture they showed had an electric cord on it. If the worms are driving the saw why does it need to be plugged in? Of course I know that sometimes Ebay sellers dont show the actual picture. Then, how do I feed these worms? They got to eat something. What happens when they die, can I order more of them, or can I get them from a bait shop? They sure come out with some strange devices these days, and I cant see how a bunch of worms would run around in there to make the saw turn, but if it cuts wood, thats what counts. Craig |

Craig Of course the cord is needed, as is the battery in battery run ones. How else do you think you can get the worms to work. You'd get busy too if there was an electric current tickling your ass.
