Differences Between Wormgear and Dovetail Trunnions

The HW110LC/TC 2HP and 3HP saws feature a worm gear trunnion design whereas the HW110S 4HP saws feature a dovetail trunnion design that eliminates radial movement of the blade when making height adjustments because there is no hinging motion to the blade when adjusting the height as well as improving the lateral rigidity of the arbor assembly.
