A seven-position rotating depth stop on this 7 amp Plate Joiner accommodates biscuits for FF, #0, #10, #20, Simplex, Duplex, and Max (#6). A 1" O.D. dust port accepts standard bag or can be connected to a vacuum to keep you work space clean of sawdust. The fence tilts from 0° to 135° with a positive adjustable stop at 90°. The unit is equipped with a micro height-adjustment knob for precise positioning which can be accurately measured at any angle using the height scale. A lock on trigger makes repetitive cuts easier on the trigger finger and a spindle lock allows for single wrench bit changes. The unit includes a 4" diameter blade. Bale handle is attached to fence, rather than the motor, and provides greater stability and added control during cuts.

    Comments about Porter-Cable Plate Joiner:

    I love the unit, works great. The plastic pivot was broken on the site. The replacement is the entire front assemble with a cost of $109.75. The replacement has the same plastic piece!
