Owner Reviews, Ratings, Comments and Criticism This is a great feature but it might have started a fire. I was using a carbide blade to cut through existing subflooring and the sparks were really flying as I cut through both fiberboard and nails along the top of a floor joist. My wife called me for dinner and I was about to walk away, leaving the saw among the floor joists of the upstairs bathroom. But I thought I smelled something burning. Looked down to see smoke coming from the dust bag and a couple of small, black holes forming on its surface. The darned thing was smoldering, burning from the inside out! I pulled off the bag and doused it in the sink. It was still hot as a pistol and I wasn't sure it was out, so I took it out in the yard and hosed the inside after unzipping it. I'm sure the air blowing through the bag fanned the smoldering fire quite a bit and sawdust (like any small particles suspended in air) can be pretty flammable. It really gave me a scare thinking about almost leaving a smoldering bag of sawdust unattended while I ate dinner. Porter-Cable makes a terrific saw and this bag has saved me a lot of mess (although a fair amount sawdust still gets around). The holes don't seem to let much more dust out so I'm still using it. But now I'm more careful. I hope you will be, too.
