Description of Porter-Cable 3812 Portable Table Saw
The Porter-Cable 3812 10-inch portable table saw is equally at home at the work site or on the workbench in your garage. Designed for bench, stand, or sawhorse mounting, this table saw delivers clean, accurate cuts every time. Powered by a heavy-duty, 15 amp motor, and featuring a large, extra-wide, 24-1/2-inch rip capacity, the 3812 makes quick work of plywood. An easy-adjusting hand wheel allows the user to set the blade height effortlessly--up to 3-1/8 inches at 90 degrees. A clearly marked blade-tilting handle provides precise angling, too, while an electric brake provides an added level of assurance between cuts, saving time in the process. And finally, under-table storage makes setup and transportation a breeze. In addition to the saw itself, the 3812 comes standard with a Riptide 24T carbide-tipped blade, premium miter gauge, rip fence, quick-release blade guard, and blade wrenches. All in all, a solid buy. --Carl ThressTools and Hardware Reviews of Porter-Cable 3812 Portable Table Saw
Customer Review: Solid, smooth, and accurate
Summary: 5 Stars
I chose this saw because of the success I've had with other PC tools. I also bought the stand that goes with the saw because I wanted a compact, solid, easily transported system, and I was not disappointed. The saw itself is a joy to operate compared to the other benchtop models I've been using. When the bevel lock is loosened to change the angle, the saw dosen't immediatly flop over like the DeWalt and Mikita benchtop saws. The angle and blade height is adjusted by a smooth like butter operating gear/crank. I'm also impressed with the simple utility of the extending fence rails. Very solid and hassle free. While the fence is accurate, it takes a little more force than I think should be necessary to lock it down. I adjusted the lockdown lever to what I was comfortable with and found that while the front of the fence was secure, the rear tended to shift. However, I re-adjusted the lever to its previous tension and have had no problems.
