Porter-Cable is an American company that manufactures power tools Known for pioneering the portable belt sander, helical-drive circular saw, and portable band saw; it is a subsidiary of Stanley Black & Decker. A woodworking or cable power tool is versatile for making cutouts, duplicates from a pattern, sharp edges, cut joints, decorative surface cuts, and more. As a result, a wood tool has become one of the quintessential machines of any other modern woodshop. All the wood tools look much alike to the uninitiated, but the difference is in the details, and the details make all the difference.
