Skil Worm Drive Question

What is the model number ?

I have one i have not had any problems with the model i have.

You could try to take the nut off that holds the latch or lock down. move the bolt and retighten the nut. it will start to clamp sooner then the last 1/16th inch.

I have an 20 year old mod 77 worm drive, I have used it and abused it, even cutting cinder blocks with it, with water cooling for the cutoff wheels. I only use it for cutting sheet goods down now or if a friend wants help building a deck or something. I found that I had some rust on the back side of the slider and a few min’s with some 400 grit took care of the problem.

Thanks guys! that E-clip under the acorn nut seems to be the key.

Childress is right Gene. I have used those saws for over 50 years and still love em. It is quite difficult to wear one out.

Fixed it!
Pulled out the E clip and the acorn nut was then loose enough to adjust.
Thanks everyone.
