Hand Power Tools, Part 2

On Friday we continued our education on power hand tools with a demo and hands-on practice with:

1. Makita 10" Dual Slide Compound Miter Saw, with Laser



  • 10" slide miter saw with the crown molding cutting capacity (6-5/8" nested) of a 12" miter saw
  • Exclusive 6 linear ball bearings engineered to deliver "dead-on" accurate cuts
  • Innovative direct drive gearbox and guard system is engineered for increased vertical cutting capacity (4-3/4")
  • Compact design with a patented 4-Steel Rail Sliding System further increases rigidity to produce superior cuts
  • Less weight (53.3 lbs.) and the most compact design in its class for easy jobsite portability
  • Powerful 15.0 AMP direct drive motor requires less maintenance and delivers 3,200 RPM
  • Increased capacity for up to 6-5/8" crown molding (vertically nested), 4-3/4" baseboard (vertical), and 12" crosscuts at 90°
  • Largest crown molding cutting capacity in its class
  • Miters 0°-52° left and 0°-60° right, with positive stops at 0°, 15°, 22.5°, 31.6°, and 45° (left and right)
  • Soft start feature for smooth start-ups
  • Electronic speed control maintains constant speed under load for smoother, higher quality cutting
  • Exclusive 4-3/4" tall dual sliding fence system features upper and lower fence adjustments for more precise miter and bevel cuts
  • Built-in laser clearly indicates line-of-cut whether blade is turning or not; on-off switch and micro-adjustments for precise "left-of-blade" or "right-of-blade" cutting
2. Porter-Cable Laminate Trimmer


  • Durable 5.6 Amp, 30,000 rpm motor
  • Perfect for most trimming, small edge forming and hinge routing applications
  • Ergonomics allow for comfortable, single-handed control
  • Micro-set™ adjustment knob enables quick and accurate bit-depth setting
  • Spindle lock feature allows for single wrench bit changes
  • Precision cast aluminum base provides long-term durability
  • Dust-sealed switch and sealed ball bearing construction enhance tool durability
  • Fixed base design allows for excellent bit visibility
  • 1/4" collet
