Customer Reviews
Not very accurate
I had one of these. It is good enough for case work like kitchen cabinets but not accurate enough for joining stiles and rails or furniture work. The blade alignment of mine was tilted about 1/64" from one side to the other.

PORTER-CABLE
This is very well made. I like the adjustment features. When doing horizontal cuts, I installed the guide because the torque will cause the joiner to jump offline. I am very happy with this product!

Blade holder needs redesign
The second day I owned the Porter-Cable Plate Joiner, the blade change screw became stuck. I tried WD40 and an extension on the Allen wrench that came with the joiner. The Allen wrence broke. I took the joiner to the local warranty repair facility. They were also unable to remove the blade. In fact, they damaged the retaining screw and the blade while trying to fix it. I had to leave the joiner with them for a week for repair. So I did not have use of the tool during the first week I owned it. On the good side, the repair was free and joiner does a good job.

product review
Just started using the Porter - Cable 557 plate joiner, it appears to be a quality product and is user friendly.
The initial cuts were easy to make and actuate.

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.
