Porter Cable's approach still results in a very usable tool, but every now and then you'll have to change the way you work to accommodate the bulky lever. Fein's toolless blade change design places the lever on top of the tool where it does not get in the way. The built-up nose the lever connect to reduces the cutting depth of the tool by about 1/2 inch compared to the competition. In tight situations the lever can get in the way and prevent the tool from being used. The lever adds considerable bulk below the tool near the blade mount. This can be a bit inconvenient, but blade changes are still completed much faster than with the traditional Allen key chuck. Weaker users will have to put the tool down on its back and use their body weight to open the chuck. Opening the chuck takes a considerable amount of finger strength. The lever is unlikely to break during use, but it will likely take damage when you drop the tool. The plastic lever, on the other hand, is a bit weak for the exposed position it is mounted in. The jaws and mounting arm are made of metal and will endure on the job site. A lever pries the jaws apart for attachment changes. A stiff spring closes the jaws of the chuck around the blade when the tool is in use. The PCE605 uses a very innovative keyless chuck to secure the blade on the actuator arm. Motor power decreases dramatically at lower speeds, but is still well matched with the intended use at a given speed setting. Each step is distinct from its neighbors and stable under load. A dial in the rear of the tool varies the motor speed from 10,000 to 22,000 rpm in 12 steps. The PCE605 comes with a variable speed motor. The switch locks into the ON position with a satisfying click that should be the model for other power switches. The switch is recessed to avoid accidentally turning the tool off while it is in use.
The PCE605 makes few allowances for non-standard users.Ī large red power switch on top of the body turns the tool on. Users with small hands will have trouble finding a comfortable grip. The diameter of the barrel varies very little throughout the entire length of the tool. Most of the PCE605's body is covered in black rubber to allow the tool to be held every which way the user likes. It is easy to coil for storage and does not become a hindrance when using the tool. The 10ft power cord lies flat when uncoiled and has very little memory. There are no rattles or lose parts anywhere on the tool. The hard plastic shell of the tool, metal gear box, and chuck form a single, cohesive unit.

The low price, keyless blade change, and cutting guide differentiate the PCE605 in an exceedingly crowded market.įit&finish is up to professional standards. The 3 amp motor and industry standard 2.8 degree cutting arc ensure good performance relative to the competition. The PCE605 is a full-featured corded oscillating tool designed for home and professional use.
Let's take a look at how the Porter Cable PCE605 performed in our shop.
Off course we had to find out what hides behind the specs. It has all the features the competition has, yet costs significantly less. The parts from the blue transporter could also form the basis for a more accurate portrayal of Endeavour's motorized conveyor.When searching the Hingmy oscillating tool datebase the Porter Cable PCE605 comes up as an attractive option. The rig included in this set is the right color scheme to recreate the external tank (ET-94) delivery to the California Science Center.
