An etched stainless steel miter scale with large, easy-to-read markings lets you accurately set cuts measuring up to 52 degrees to the left and up to 60 degrees to the right.

The saw's all-metal bevel lock lever and range selector are located up front to make bevel adjustments easy.

The bevel capacity allows you to cut at angles ranging from 0 to 47 degrees to the left and the right, while marked detents and roof pitch angles make the most common angles easy to set.

HTC PM7000 Portamate Miter Saw & Power Tool Work Center

HTC PM7000 Portamate Miter Saw & Power Tool Work Center Review



HTC PM7000 Portamate Miter Saw & Power Tool Work Center Feature

  • Portable miter saw work station with 4-outlet power center, 8-inch wheel, and storage compartment
  • Universal machinery mounts for planers, band saws, scroll saws, and mitre saws
  • Aluminum with rubber feet
  • Limited time offer: includes work vise and work light
  • 33-inches tall; up to 7-feet long; 75 pounds; 1-year warranty
There’s no denying the immense popularity of the power miter saw. It has pushed the radial-arm saw to the brink of extinction, and become an indispensable tool for professional contractors and do-it-yourselfers alike. However, to get the most out of your power miter saw, you must get it up off the floor and mount it to a sturdy saw stand.

At first glance, the Portamate PM7000 Miter Saw and Power Tool Work Center might just look like a fancy sawhorse, but look closer and you’ll discover one of the best portable saw stands on the market. The ruggedly built aluminum stand measures 33 inches tall by 67 inches wide, but it expands to an impressive 9 foot, 8 inches for cutting long moldings, siding or deck boards. The saw attaches to the stand’s horizontal rail via a pair of universal mounts. In fact, the mounts can be used to attach other compact benchtop tools, such as a drill press, scroll saw, band saw, or thickness planer.

Other user-friendly features include a four-outlet power strip, 8-inch-diameter wheel for easy mobility, convenient storage compartment and three adjustable work supports that have fold-down rollers. The stand’s four legs fold up for storage or for easy transport. And if all that weren’t enough, it comes with two invaluable, add-on accessories: a flexible worklight and a heavy-duty cast-aluminum bench vise.

The PM7000 combines useful features and unmatched versatility, with industrial-quality construction and competitive pricing. Bottom line: If you own a power miter saw you’ve got to get this work center. -- Joseph Truini The PortaMate PM-7000 Pro WorkCenter not only functions as an excellent miter saw stand, it can also be used as workstation for a number of bench-top tools, such as portable planers, small band saws, scroll saws and more. Features a quick-mount attachment, outlet power center, storage compartment, extensions that support 16ft. workpieces, adjustable worklight and much more.

Bosch 4212 12-Inch Dual-Bevel Compound Miter Saw

Bosch 4212 12-Inch Dual-Bevel Compound Miter Saw Review



Bosch 4212 12-Inch Dual-Bevel Compound Miter Saw Feature

  • Upfront bevel lock lever and range selector knob ? Easily accessed controls for quick and accurate bevel settings
  • Multi-position main handle ? Easily locks into any of four positions
  • Large 25-1/2" Base with built-in cast sliding extensions for 40" total length
  • Exclusive Wedge-and-Slot Miter Detent System ? Consistent and precise miter angles over the life of the tool
  • Crown molding settings ? 31.6° miter and 33.9° bevel detents for quick, accurate crown cuts
It's a small thing, we know, but our favorite feature on this gorgeous saw is the handle. That's because everybody has his or her own comfort zone: Some like a vertical grip, some a horizontal. Left-handers usually prefer a handle that tilts 45 degrees to the left. It's all here. The four-position handle features two safety lock buttons—one on each end of the handle, for right- and left-handers-—and one must be pressed to allow the saw to power up. At this saw's heart is a beefy, Bosch-quality 15-amp motor with a no-load max of 3,800 rpm and peak 3 HP. Around it, you'll find one plus after another. We like the super-wide miter range of 52 degrees both left and right, because as you know, sometimes the world isn't perfect. It bevels from 0 to 47 degrees left and 0 to 46 right, with the range selector and lock knobs right up front where they should be. The 10 miter detents can all be overridden easily for micro-fine adjustments. The sliding extensions are handy, and we like the integrated workpiece clamps and especially the flip-up crown stops. Another important feature to us is that the scales are clear and legible, even for those of us who won't admit we need bifocals. One more nice touch is the option of replacing the kerf insert for different blades, creating a zero-clearance insert that will minimize tearout. We know Bosch to be fastidious about calibrating their tools before they leave the factory, but to be safe, you'll want to take the time to perform all the checks in the owner's manual. --Kris Jensen-Van Heste Bosch 4212 12" Dual-Bevel Compound Miter Saw Bosch Power Tools and Accessories is one of the divisions within the Robert Bosch Tool Corporation, which is one of the largest power tool and accessory manufacturers in the world.
