WORX WX477.1

WORX WX477.1: Workshop Positioning & Cutting Capabilities

Positioned as a versatile workhorse for North American shops and jobsites, the WORX WX477.1 brings WORX’s proven mechanical endurance to daily fabrication. The combination of an agile Top Handle (D-Handle) architecture and an efficient 120V / 5.0 Amp Corded drive allows operators to steer the WORX WX477.1 through complex contours and bevel joints with repeatable accuracy.

WORX WX477.1 is engineered for dependable woodworking precision and clean curve severance. Features 120v / 5.0 amp corded, multi-stage orbital action, and tool-free T-shank blade changes for jobsite and home remodeling projects.

Capable of severing up to 2-9/16 in. (65 mm) in solid lumber, 1/4 in. (6 mm) in mild sheet steel, and 1/2 in. (12 mm) in aluminum profiles, the WORX WX477.1 offers the capacity needed for finish remodeling, electrical box rough-ins, and bespoke woodworking joinery.

Motor Architecture & Vibration Damping Dynamics

Built around a robust 120V / 5.0 Amp Corded drivetrain, the WORX WX477.1 delivers consistent reciprocating thrust across 0–3.100 SPM. Precision-machined internal gears absorb mechanical lash, resulting in stable linear strokes when tracking intricate pattern lines.

With its classic bow-handle architecture, the WORX WX477.1 provides comfortable, upright control ideal for general workshop dimensioning and jobsite framing. A variable-speed trigger with an integrated lock-on button permits steady feed rates without inducing hand cramping on extended sheet cuts.

Shoe Base Engineering, Bevel Accuracy & Cut-Line Clarity

Fabricated from stamped steel with reinforced side ribs, the base of the WORX WX477.1 maintains true squareness against guide fences. Fast-setting bevel detents simplify angled joinery, and an integrated cut-line blower whisks chips away from the layout line.

Keyless Blade Clamp & Orbital Action Settings

Changing blades on the WORX WX477.1 requires zero tools thanks to a spring-loaded quick-change chuck. Pulling the external release lever disengages the locking tangs for instant, safe blade replacement with standard T-shank accessories.

The WORX WX477.1 incorporates a multi-stage orbital action selector that tailors the blade’s forward stroke swing to the material at hand:

• Setting 0: Vertical reciprocation without orbital swing. Essential for sheet metals, copper tubing, PVC, and chip-free cuts in double-sided melamine veneers.
• Setting 1: Subtle orbital oscillation. Recommended for dense hardwoods like white oak, hard maple, and birch plywood to balance edge smoothness with cut progress.
• Setting 2: Medium pendulum swing. The workhorse setting for general softwood framing (2x4, 2x6) and construction lumber.
• Setting 3: Maximum aggressive orbital thrust. Delivers blistering feed speed for rough dimensioning, timber framing, and demolition work where speed outweighs edge cosmetics.

Frequently Asked Questions About the WORX WX477.1

Does the WORX WX477.1 come packaged with a battery and charger?

In its standard bare-tool configuration, the WORX WX477.1 ships as tool-only to save money for users already invested in the 120V / 5.0 Amp Corded battery ecosystem. Retail combo kits that bundle lithium-ion packs and fast chargers are also widely stocked.

What battery size offers the best balance on the WORX WX477.1?

For general workshop and cabinetry tasks, a 4.0 Ah or 5.0 Ah 120V / 5.0 Amp Corded battery provides the optimal equilibrium between extended continuous runtime and tool maneuverability. Ultra-compact 2.0 Ah slim packs are great for overhead scribing, while larger 6.0 Ah to 8.0 Ah packs suit high-volume jobsite framing.

Can I use universal Bosch-style T-shank blades in the WORX WX477.1?

Yes. The keyless clamp is fully compatible with all standard T-shank blades from Bosch, Diablo, Milwaukee, DEWALT, and Festool, allowing you to choose any tooth geometry or material rating.
