Had to modify switch to fit a vintage Rockwell 315 circular saw. Had to cut 1/4” off back of switch, then filed to shrink width enough to make fit and function with out binding. Switch box is a little big but fits, not able to completely close handle attach all the way using center screw, leaves about a 1/32nd gap in top but not a problem since box is all enclosed. Saw operates like a new watch, no issues, very happy me. My first saw bought in late 70’s to early mid 80’s.

I have purchased 8 of these switches over a seven year period. I have the porter cable 743 circular saw and would say it receives light to medium use, not something I use every day. I'm lucky to get 12 months out of one of these switches. It is the only switch still available for these saws, but if you frame day in and day out you would be better served to buy a new saw. After purchasing 8 of these switches I can say that I didn't just have a lemon of a switch, and that the product is of poor quality. 25 bucks for this product is definitely more that its worth, free shipping or not. I would have quit purchasing these switches a long time ago but there is some sentimental value to my saw and want to keep it going.

Part was a bit pricey , but it's the only one I can find due to the switch not being re-manufactured ! It came with all necessary screws and it works great !! Circular saw was a discontinued model that I worked hard for nearly 15 yrs , if switch works as well as O.E. I will enjoy for many more !

Switch is an easy replacement and after using it several time is operating very well. Appears to be a good product.

This is the OEM replacement for a 347 Porter Cable saw. Fit is great and fairly easy. Saw works like new. The only issue was old wiring to the switch.
