RIGHT Blade Worm Drive???


I'm left handed. Does anyone make a worm drive with the blade right of the motor?

I believe either Porter Cable or Skill make one. Check their web sites.

If that's the case, do I get comfortable with the left blade worm drive or stick with my right blade sw?

I know Skill used to make one. If no one is making them anymore, keep your eye open for a used one.

On my way to bed I thought of this. Porter Cable used to make a 4" or 4-1/2" right hand blade worm type trim saw. Not sure if this is what you want .

Actually, I've got one of those, it's no good for framing. Strictly a trim saw. I use it mainly for panelling work.

The Hilti WSC 267E might fit the bill.
