The Tool-Stop Details

Tools of the Trade, March/April 1999 Tool Test - Circular Saws: "Our overall favorite was the left-bladed Porter-Cable 743K. It had the best combination of all the features we were looking for and it was competitively priced." This Porter-Cable framer's saw is the most powerful in its class. It is designed with the blade on the left to provide a better view of the cutting line. It is also one of the lightest heavy duty saws on the market. The saw is packed with a massive 15 amps of power. Cross cuts, miters, sizing plywood and panels, even ripping operations all go faster and smoother without forcing the saw. This saw has superb balance and rugged magnesium construction.
