   My prefference is for bandsaws.  A little hard to make a plunge cut with them, but if you hit the top hard enough, the base will usually break though whatever you are tyring to cut.

   I also like to use a 12 lb hammer on the back of my drill when I drill concrete.

   The only worm I ever used on a regular basis was an old 8-1/4" Skil.

   I think it weighed more than me. <G>

   For the kind of work I do, a sidewinder does just fine.

   I only use saws made by Sears.  "Craftsman" brand.

   What's a wormdrive?

   Never had much of a need for the power of the worm drive.  Sidewinder for me; my neighbor too since he hasn't replaced his yet. Does that count as 2 votes?

   I ride the fence on this one. I have used the worm and like 'em. But I grew up with sidewinders and am more at home with them. Worm is a different animal but can cut a true line slick as snot if you use 'em for a while. They're too heavy though.
   Maybe one day I'll pick one up at a garage sale, just tos ay I own one.

   Learned on wormdrives in Idaho in the mid seventies,never looked back. When I show up on a job I show up job sites and whip it out I get comments like thats an antique. My answer "It's a Man's saw"

   I'm used to wormdrives...the west coast framer thing. I love 'em because you just can't get the dang things to die.

   I have a Skil 77 I bought used several years ago. Also have 2 sidewinders, one I inherited never used and a 8.25" blade right that can bevel 60*, for those special occasions.

   Wormdrives suck for the over the head stuff though--I need to start working out.
