Unlike standard circular saws, these have the motor mounted parallel to the saw blade. In addition, they usually have a larger motor. These features make for more powerful, stronger tools that are preferred by pros looking for heavy-duty, long-term use.

Worm drive circular saws get their name from the worm gear (a spiral thread on a shaft) that runs at right angles to the blade shaft. A sidewinder circular saw typically has the saw blade shaft in line with the shaft of the motor for the saw.
