MPowered by a burly 15 amp motor, Porter-Cable's new 12-inch compound
miter saw delivers big cutting capacity--mitering a four-by-four
at 45 degrees and beveling a two-by-eight at 90. The saw swivels
right and left to 48 degrees, too, letting you make cuts to fit
even when the world isn't square.
Simply put, Porter-Cable paid attention to the details. The miter
has a com-activated lock--a simple half turn locks the saw in place.
The tool also has a big table that gives plenty of support space
for workpieces, making it easier to hold them securely in place
when cutting. There's an electric brake (all miter saws should have
one), and the blade guard retracts smoothly. The D-handle design
makes the saw comfortable to operate with either your right or left
hand, which is convenient considering the wide range of cuts you're
likely to make. We especially like how the saw's base can mount
on the edge of two-by-fours for a quick job site stand. Very slick.
A single onboard
wrench makes all the adjustments, including blade changes. This
saw also comes with an extensive wing and a sliding fence, which
give superb material support--a feature trim carpenters will find
handy for cutting crown molding vertically. The fence is easily
adjusted, too, in case it gets knocked out of alignment. The fence
is also replaceable, so you don't have to get a whole new saw when
something goes wrong. It's true, a guy could really rave about this
saw for quite a while. The miter and bevel gauges are great, with
embossed marks stamped into stainless steel, so it'll be just as
easy to dial in the exact cut three years into the future as when
you first take the tool out of the box (no chintzy stickers or attached
plates here). The stainless-steel detents won't ever develop slop,
either. Bevels are also easy to set. The three-wing screw lock is
sturdy and holds tight, and there's good tension in the unlocked
position--so the motor is easy to move (it doesn't just flop over)
when you're setting bevels.
