Porter-Cable's model 3812 includes a combination of full-size features not often found on bench-top saws. With a full 24-1/2-inch rip capacity, this saw has no trouble ripping a half sheet of plywood. A convenient lever under the front of the table operates slide-out material support rails. A contractor style miter gauge with standard 3/4-inch T-slots offers better support and improved accuracy. A full-size throat plate simplifies blade changes and has room for 13/16-inch stacked dado blades. An exclusive full-size trunion mounting system minimizes vibration and maintains the centerline of the blade throughout bevel travel and reduces time-consuming fence adjustments. Weighing only 60 pounds, this saw is light enough for one individual to manage, yet sturdy enough to perform demanding cuts. The unit stores easily in a mini-van or pick-up for convenient portability. On-board tool and accessory storage for wrenches, extra blades, blade guards, fences, the miter gauge and cord keeps things in reach and minimizes downtime. Plus, a click-in/click-out blade guard means quick and easy set-up/break-down during transport.
The 15-amp model 3812 features an electric brake for faster workflow. With rails extended, a 3/4-inch panel can be inserted to provide full table support. A rack and pinion bevel adjustment system means faster and more accurate bevel setting from –2 degrees to 47 degrees.
Other user-friendly features include an easy access on/off switch positioned in an up-front location, a base that attaches to a bench, stand, or two-by-four sawhorse mount, and a rip measurement scale located to the right of the fence for a clear line-of-sight during use. A rotating dust nozzle moves with the motor housing to channel dust through the rear of the saw as efficiently as possible. When used with the optional out-feed support, the saw provides solid support both to the right and the rear of the blade. The Job Site Table Saw comes complete with a premium Riptide 24-tooth carbide-tipped blade, premium miter gauge, rip fence, quick-release blade guard, blade wrenches, and operating manual.
