PORTABLE CUTTING TOOL

The present invention provides a portable cutting tool， including: a blade; a motor used for driving the blade to rotate， where the motor has a motor output shaft; a guard assembly that includes an upper guard and a lower guard which is used for receiving the motor; a base connected to the upper guard， where the base further includes a base bottom portion used for abutting against a workpiece; and a housing that includes a front portion connected to the upper guard， a rear portion extending longitudinally， and a gripping portion disposed between the front portion and the rear portion， where the blade shaft is perpendicular to the motor output shaft. In this manner， after an operator grips the gripping portion， the portable cutting tool is in a relatively stable state， and a cutting operation can be performed easily， making the operation more comfortable.
