Deluxe Plate Joiner, Powerful 7.5A Motor Includes Both 2" & 4" Blades For Cutting All Types Of Biscuits, Including The Exclusive Face Frame Biscuit For Joining Face Framed Cabinets, Precision Fence With Micro Height Adjustment, Fence Tilts 0-135, Lock On Trigger, 1" OD Dust Port With Dust Bag, Comes Complete With Carrying Case.
Though this Porter-Cable tool is priced higher than comparable DeWalt and Makita models, the 557 is Amazon.com's top-selling plate joiner. Its success is perhaps due to its very powerful 7-1/2 amp motor--the largest in the industry--which turns the blade at 10,000 rpm and does an excellent job of making clean cuts in any kind of wood. As well as cutting slots for the standard no. 0, 10, and 20 biscuits, Porter-Cable's joiner features an exclusive, full-thickness, FF biscuit developed especially for cabinet face frames. Another unique feature of the Porter-Cable joiner is the 2-inch blade (included), which is small enough to make cuts in stock as narrow as 1-1/2 inches. We found the microheight adjustment works well, allowing for precise biscuit placement. The tool is well balanced and comfortable to use. --Michael Shilling

Porter Cable Joiner Absolutely the best on the market. My hired hands have tried to tear up the Joiner without success. The other brands that I tried were easy for my employees to break for burn up. Porter Cable has my confidence on their tools.
Great biscuit jointer No problems with this biscuit jointer. Excellent results every single time. If it's good enought for Norm, then it's good enough for me. If you don't know who Norm is, then you should not own this tool.
great tool porter cable must have taken a closer look at this tool and replaced alot of the plastic items. the whole angle bracket is made of metal as well as most of the tool. I have owned other biscuit jointer frued as well as used a friends dewalt and this pc blows them out of the water its smooth cutting and ease of use make this a great investment. especially when my only other option was a lamello for twice the price
Great Tool. Bag is useless. Works great. Nicely balanced and has nice features. The bag cannot be used while the blade is sharp and new because the shavings clog the small port feeding to the bag. I suspect once the blade dulls that the debris will be more like sawdust and it will work.
