Manufacturer Description
Framing cuts are a breeze with the 6-inch SawBoss. The blade is on the left for better visibility. Great for overhead uses like cutting off rafter tails. Lighter than 7-1/4" saws, it won't cause fatigue as quickly when used for vertical applications. The dust nozzle allows the operator to direct dust to the side, away from his/her face. The 6 inch blade is able to cut 45 degree angles in all 2X framing lumber and a unique miter lip protrudes below the guard to prevent guard hang-ups at all angles. The 9 amp motor is all ball and needle bearing construction for long life. The base has adjustable positive stops at 45 degrees and 90 degrees for accurate angel cutting. For easy blade changes, a spindle lock is standard. The adjustable base insert allows splinter-free cutting on either side of the blade. One year warranty with a 30 day performance certification. Includes saw, 18 tooth carbide-tipped Riptide blade #12850, blade wrench #48306, dust nozzle #39333, base insert #698460 and operating manual.

Customer Reviews & Comments
I bought my Saw Boss back in 1995 to use while restoring a condemned house we bought in North Carolina. I can't imagine the number of boards I've cut with it. When used on a bench it cut through every piece of wood with ease, as long as I used blades that hadn't already been used to cut through TOO many nails. The reduced power (when compared to a 7 1/4 saw) was a major asset when I had to use the saw in awkward positions cutting away bits of old house. The saw would bog down before anything seriously dangerous happened. Being light, the saw could be used in a vertical position to cut through wall boards, and I even used it overhead with ease. The saw did not have a safety interlock which would have made it impossible to use for some of the cuts I needed to make. I don't know if the newer saws do, but I doubt it since this saw is designed for professionals. I, also, have some complaints with the stamped metal base, but in its favor, I dropped the saw from the roof of the porch once and bent the plate and was able to hammer it back into shape. An aluminum plate would surely have broken. My point is, this saw really shines when used for construction and remodeling work, for making repeated cuts in a number of awkward positions. You don't get worn out just lugging the saw around. This is a perfect outdoor tool, even coming equipped with an extra-long cord. I can't speak for the shop, since in there I generally use my Dewalt chop box or Jet table saw. Update a few years later: It is now 2007 and I've had the saw for 12 years. Just used it to build my first boat. Works as well as ever. I used it mainly to rip 8' sheets of plywood. Everytime I do it I thank Porter-Cable for the extra long cord. A couple years ago I finally got tired of looking at my almost straight base which gets bent periodically when I drop it off the deck or whatever. Had to go to the Porter-Cable folks to order one for $25 or so and put it on by myself. It looks nice again.
