Porter-Cable 314 4.5 Amp 4-1/2-Inch Trim Saw Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)if you use it for what it's meant for, trim and thin stock. I know that after burning one out cutting both sides of 2" oak with one after leaving my old Rockwell 6 1/2" saws in my shop one day. Fortunately, Porter Cable will rebuild them at the factory for a very reasonable price. It's good as new now.
This is a pro's tool, so it doesn't have all the cutesy attachments that home users have come to expect. It will, with the appropriate blades, do a nice job on plexiglass and formica as well as wood.
I'd recommend thin kerf blades with this, and keep 'em sharp.It's more a finish tool than anything else.

Porter Cable 12057 4-1/2-Inch 120 Tooth TCG Plywood Cutting Saw Blade with 3/8-Inch Arbor Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The 120 tooth blade handles 1/2 inch Russian Birch plywood like a laser through butter. I use the blades exclusively in cabinet making and find that this 4 1/2 blade is the best for clean precise cuts. Always remember to score your cuts with a utility knife first and there is virtually no rip out.If you are cutting plexiglass or plastics always use a sharp and very clean blade. Cleaning with one of the new 'orange' based producsts is best.
Remember to unplug the saw when doing any adjustments.

Forrest WW04H407080 Woodworker II 4-1/2-Inch 40 Tooth 3/8-Inch Arbor 5/64-Inch Kerf Circular Saw Blade Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is an excellent replacement saw blade for the porter cable 314 saw.I was apprehensive at first due to the cost, but I needed something better and felt the forrest name would be a good risk.I glad I made this choice as it save me time and money in the long run.

I found that it cuts very smoothly and clean.The blade requires less effort when cutting a 3/4 hardwood plywood and does it with no splintering.I also found I could start with a finer 220 grit sandpaper to achieve a fine edge finish.This means squarer end for a more professional finish.

I don't have a big shop and am not set up to cut 4X8 plywood sheets on my table saw.I normally have to use my circular saw to do preliminary cut and do the finish cut on the table saw.This blade on my porter cable has replaced my table saw for many of the longer cuts and elminated me having to use my table saw again to get a clean end cut. As the result this has save me the cost of wood and time to set up for recuts.

The only disadvantage, if any, is the wider kerf cut due to the carbide teeths.I had to make a slight compensation in my measurement to get the exact cut.

I would highly recommend this blade for any cabinetry work.
