Are there any graphics that show the different ways homeowner saws are built, VS pro saws, as in clamshell VS non-clamshell? Any videos? thnx
 
This guy has what you want:




But, note that there are several common variations on "clamshell" saws. Some have metal bottom ends, some just use the plastic case for a bottom end. Some use a normal pro-like cylinder which bolts to a block which also supports the top of the crank bearings (like the Husky 350 in Post 2).
