part(s) for 550 porter cable pocket cutter - toolmiser - 11-07-2015
I recently purchased a like new PC 550 pocket cutter for $40.00. It's missing both fences. E Replacment parts has it discontinued. It looks real simple and I bet I can make one if someone has the dimensions, and or pictures. The part number is 8777948. Much appreciated.

How about a bump in case someone missed the first.
Thanks

Sold mine some years ago. Yes those fences were simple straps. Seems like about 1/8x1.
I never used mine, always just eyeballed the wood placement.

I'm the guy BloomimgtonMile referred you to on Sawmill Creek.
Here are some photos of the base and guides of my P-C 550:
The guides are just two strips of powder-coated steel, 3/16" thick by 1-1/2" wide by 7-1/2" long. They each have two slots 5/16" wide by 3/4" long, matching the slots in the base. The carriage bolts are 1/4-20 X 1", and the plastic knobs are about 1" in diameter. I think you could use wing nuts and washers if you couldn't find suitable knobs.
Hope this helps!
Rick
