After original pad crumbled from age, I purchased this replacement pad for my one-hand 5" P-C sander. Works great during the first few hrs of use so far.

 "Random Orbit Sander" 2009-09-17
By Donald L. Claeys (Portland, OR USA)
I just replaced the pad for my Random Orbit Sander after many years of use. I was happy to realize that the pad could be replaced because I have found the sander works very well for my around home uses. A great reliable product.

 "Made my sander work like new again." 2009-09-08
By HiredGun#28 (Northeast Ohio)
If your sander won't hold the sanding discs anymore because of a worn hook & loop pad, then this is what you need to replace.

By R. Brown (la)
Would have received 5 stars except the original wore out too soon. In general, I've lost some confidence in P-C equipment over time.

 "Pad disengaged from sander" 2009-01-19
By Susan P. Allen
The screw heads, which hold the pad in place, wore through the plastic after about 90 minutes of use. The holes should have reinforcement of some kind stronger than the plastic that is used.

I will be returning the pads.

 "Contour Pad Review" 2008-07-08
By Michael E. Maloney (Massachusetts)
I never knew that there were contour pads for power sanders until I happened to come across this looking for a replacement pad for my sander. It works very well. It doesn't produce the flat edges on round-offs that you can get if not being careful with a regular backing pad. I just hope that it lasts longer than my original backing pad did.

 "Its OK" 2009-09-30
By Sarah A. Clark (NW Arkansas)
It works OK. Nothing now is made like it used to be though.

I like the blade on the left but takes a bit of getting used to.

 "Workhorse" 2008-12-02
By Daniel Joyce (Gurnee, IL USA)
I'm not sure why all right-handed saws do not have the blade on the left side. This thing is powerful and light. This is my go-to saw. I like the balance better than a worm-drive, but for monster cutting, it's good to have one of those, too. You can never have too many tools, although several saws is a luxury. I also have a trim saw for small jobs, but as a starter I would get this. It will do it all for you.

 "Great Saw... until you drop it." 2008-11-30
By Jbh Enterprises (Bridgewater, NJ United States)
I've owned my own a residential construction business for over 20 years. As you can imagine, I've seen and used my fair share of circular saws. Porter Cables previous circular saws (743 and 347) were among the best I had ever used. So I was very happy to buy a few of the newer MAG saws when they came out.



And they performed wonderfully... for a while. All three of them have broken where the table meets the depth adjustment guide. Yes, they were dropped. From 3'. It should go without saying a commercial duty tool should NOT break so easily.



The repair guy at the local tool store that caters to contractors said he has seen 100's of these with the same problem. So, I am back to shopping for the older ones on eBay.

 "Great Saw" 2008-07-29
By J. Hadley (Sonoma, CA USA)
Arrived quickly packed in the manufacturer's box. All good. The saw works beautifully for rips and crosscuts. Accurate (square/flat baseplate from the outset) good power, nice weight/balance in the hand, and the directional sawdust exhaust port is a nice feature. Should have gotten one of these a long time ago!

 "Overpriced, poor quality" 2008-07-25
By Brandon L. Hayes (Monmouth, OR)
After researching my options, I selected this saw for several reasons. I liked the way it felt, I had used the 325 before, I have several other tools from Porter-Cable and it received top rating from Fine Homebuilding in 2004(?).



After using it to cut 10 boards, the blade clamp self destructed. The saw blade that came with it has dished and hits the guard. The sight does not track with the blade.



I did buy the saw locally and it is under warranty, but I am now on my third blade clamp in less than two weeks (partially because it took 1 week to receive the replacement). Traditional, bolt-style blade clamps are available [...], which I will surely be buying. I really don't know what else will go wrong once I get to use it.



I bought a HD77M to replace it, no problems with that.

 "Adding new uses to the PC 7424 Polisher as a Sander" 2008-11-06
By F. Butler
If you own the Porter Cable 7424 Polisher the addition of the PC 18001 6-inch 6-hole hook and loop standard pad allows you to have the equivalent PC 7336 Sander - giving you in effect two separate machines. It should also be noted that the Porter-Cable 73333 Dust Collection System works with the 7424 Polisher if the 18001 standard pad in attached for sanding.

 "Get the made-in-USA version" 2009-06-10
By Tom (Nashville)
It appears to be difficult to find a reasonably sharp corner chisel. The Porter Cable corner chisel is the same generic, Chinese-made corner chisel that everyone sells. Sometimes they're sharp, sometimes they're dull. More than likely, you'll get one somewhere in between.



Rather than gamble on getting a sharp Chinese-made corner chisel, why not buy a corner chisel that you can count on to be sharp: the Whiteside 9600 Corner Chisel (WHITESIDE MACHINE 9600 SQUARE CORNER CHISEL W/ 3/8 SQUARE HARDENED STEEL CUTTING BLADE).



I went through several Chinese-made corner chisels and butchered many test pieces before I discovered the Whiteside 9600. Although it looks just like the Chinese version, the 9600 is made in the USA by Whiteside Machine Company. It's extremely sharp, costs the same as the Chinese version, and is available on Amazon. Seems like a no-brainer.

 "More Asian Sweat shop junk" 2009-05-26
By G. Conner (USA)
I do not know exactly where they get these, but I have seen them popping up all over the place under various brand names from different sources. Seeing as how they all look the same, I suspect they are made in the same place and sold to various distributors with slightly different colors or specs. I would be surprised if any American company pays more than one dollar a piece for them.



I got a chance to see one in action the other day. It was a rush-job, (like always) to finish the upstairs of a residence before the deadline and on budget. A journeyman carpenter was actually bragging to the trim crew that he could mortise the door hinges faster than "the old man" (me) because of this nifty new tool he had acquired. He routed the bulk of the hinge-mortise with a decent jig and laminate-trimmer, then proceeded to hack away at the corners with this thing. He neglected to practice using the tool first, and he also forgot that he would need to use a regular chisel to finish the job.



Now, I have used standard corner chisels before, and they can help speed up certain operations. That is assuming you have a good corner chisel and know how to use it.



The idea behind this is contrivance that it "self-registers" to the corner from two sides, then you whack the steel post which drives the blade, (presumably) perfectly into the corner. Even if it worked perfectly, (which is does NOT) you would still have to pare to the corner with a regular chisel. When I picked up this kid's tool and examined it, I saw the blade / post is cheap steel, and the stamped steel guide is flimsy and ill-fitting. That means it doesn't hold the business end accurately or well and it probably would not last very long even if you could get it to work. The blade is held loosely but it binds if you hit it off center, which he did. When I pressed the blade out of the guide, I saw that it was poorly ground and not sharp... both bad things for any cutting tool.



Well, the poor kid used it, hashed on his first two attempts and then started swearing. It took a lot of clean up to fix his mistake caused by trusting this cheap tool. He tried again on the bottom hinge-mortise, hit too hard and stuck the chisel into the cheap hollow-core door.



Meanwhile, I had all three of my mortises chiseled clean, drilled pilot holes, installed hinges and was starting to hang my door when the kid threw this thing down the 2-story chute into the waste bin.



[...]



If you like the idea and want a good one, Lee Valley sells a much more sensible magnetic design ( the Veritas magnetic corner chisel) that looks like it might actually work. It is precision ground from hardened A2 tool steel and has an accurate aluminum magnetic guide block. The magnetic idea seems MUCH better than the cheap metal plate held on by two little screws. The magnetic design would allow a better feel for the transmission of power from your hammer, and would allow a better line of sight. It is also thirty-five bucks... as you would expect. If I had to do nothing else but chop hinge-mortises all day, that would be the one I'd invest in. As it is, with a regular chisel, "the old-man" mortised and mounted three doors while the kid with this tool was still explaining to the foreman why he ruined an eighty-dollar door.



I always wondered who buys this kind of cheap gimmick. Now I know at least one demographic... inexperienced kids.



The kid had to stay late to inlay-patch the botched mortises, wait for the glue to dry, trim the patches flush, then re-mortise for hinges and hang the door. When he finally got to the bar, I bought him a beer. We all laughed. Lesson learned.



It is disheartening to see a venerable company like PC selling crap like this. Maybe their marketing guys thought it would help sell more routers and jigs.

 "not too sharp" 2009-05-10
By Matthew Abell (Poconos, PA)
This corner chisel is designed well, but unfortunately it is not very well sharpened. It mashes wood fibers instead of cutting them. In the end, I went back to my flat chisel to square out the corners.

 "A good solid corner chisel that works." 2008-12-24
By J. Mazor (Taylor, Mi United States)
This is what it is and does what it says. It is a good corner chisel that works very well. If I use it six times a year that is a lot, but when you need it, you are thankful for having it.

 "Seem to work . . just OK." 2008-08-12
By
Is it me, or what? Once I router cut a door-hinge mortise using a Porter-Cable hinge mortise jig, I can't seem to get the Porter-Cable corner chisel far enough back in the corner of the router cut to get the edges lined-up. After I use the corner chisel, I still need to a wood chisel to take out a little more in order to make a perfect corner. It almost looks like I need to do a little grinding work on the corner chisel with the bench grinder to make it align properly.
