The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other power tools and workshop machinery we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
At $164.99, the PORTER-CABLE PCE700 is the lowest-priced metal-cutting saw in this category with a substantial verified review base. Its 2,200 owner reviews at a 4.5-star rating represent the strongest buyer validation signal in the Metal-Cutting and Chop Saws category, with about 50 units still selling monthly.
The PCE700 operates on 120V corded power at 3800 RPM with a 14-inch blade capacity. It weighs 32 pounds and measures 22.69 inches by 14 inches by 17.06 inches. The blade material is listed as metal and steel, consistent with high speed steel abrasive cutting applications for pipe, rebar, and angle iron.
For buyers comparing the PCE700 to the DEWALT D28715, the PORTER-CABLE's $35.01 lower price and roughly four times the review count are meaningful advantages. The DEWALT runs at 4000 RPM vs 3800 for the PCE700, but for most steel-cutting work the difference is not operationally significant.
Pros
- 2,200 verified owner reviews at 4.5 stars is the strongest buyer validation in the category
- 120V corded operation works on standard household and job-site circuits
- 3800 RPM blade speed handles pipe, angle iron, and structural steel
- 32-pound weight provides stable table presence during cuts
- $164.99 is the lowest price among reviewed 14-inch metal saws with proven demand
Cons
- 3800 RPM is slightly lower than the DEWALT D28715's 4000 RPM
- 32 pounds makes it heavier to transport between job sites compared to lighter saws
