How good is it?

[redarc]

I was wondering if anybody has used the 7 1/4" Worm Drive Saw. Does it work like it should? Has anybody had any problems?

i dont have the worm drive yet (but i will soon)but i do have 6 of the r 3200 circuler saws and we love them only complaint some of my guys have is there is no break on them but that is no big deal to me

Sorry to reply so long after you posted, but if you are still reading your replies, I found some pretty good discussions on CS yesterday on www.woodnet.net. (http://www.woodnet.net.) Most guys found the worm drives good but heavy. Unless you are doing a lot of work with one, you may like the regular drive better. I have been thinking seriously about one myself though. I'd like to know what you decide and how it works for you.
Good luck,
Steve
