PC15TCSMK Circular Saw

Porter-Cable's PC15TCSMK features smooth guard operation and its blade visibility is good

By Michael Springer

The latest top model from Porter-Cable shares its form and features closely with brand mate DeWalt’s DW368, with some features even shared with the favored DeWalt DW369. Guard operation is smooth, and blade visibility is good, even when using both handles. Cutting depth and bevels are set with smooth, cast-metal levers. The bevel scale has engraved marks for every degree and spring-loaded detents at 22.5° and 45°. The cast-magnesium baseplate on my saw was nearly flat in both directions and showed little flex during use.
