324MAG Circular Saw Review
This well-balanced circular saw from Porter-Cable has a unique dust control system with an adjustable port
This well-balanced circular saw has a unique dust control system with an adjustable port that lets you blow sawdust in any direction, back into the blade housing, or into a shop-vacuum hose. It has excellent lines of sight, and the cord clip at the end of the motor housing keeps the cord out of harm’s way. The saw’s ribbed-magnesium baseplate and hinge/depth assembly are light but stiff. The machine we tested delivered smooth guard retraction on all cuts, including simple miters beginning from both the long and short points, as well as compound miters, again from both directions. Porter-Cable’s Quik-Change toolless system simplifies blade changing. A small spring-loaded wing slides from the cap of the bolt to loosen and tighten the bolt.
