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.

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.
