Product Information

We’ve now outlined the major design features to consider when buying a new plunge saw. Whatever option you decide to go for, you’ll want to ensure all of the above comes as standard. However, there are many other features and areas of functionality you will want to bear in mind to best meet your individual requirements. Power and Performance You can also look forward to better cut capacity with a plunge saw. If you anticipate that you’ll be working with much larger workpieces, a plunge saw is fit for task. When used properly, a plunge saw that provide you with a safe option for cutting and trimming much larger workpieces, like sheet materials and boards to more manageable sizes. Another major benefit of quality plunge saws is the inclusion of integrated dust extraction units. These are essential safety elements for when you are cutting materials likely to generate high volumes of dust, especially when you’re making continuous cuts and working with large volumes of workpieces. Dust extraction is facilitated by the enclosed design of the blade guard of a plunge saw, keeping your workspace free from excess levels of dust in the air and the workpieces you’re handling more free of debris. Key Factors to Consider

I’ll start this off by saying that I am a person partial to Makita products as I have faithfully used them for years. motor power, weighs 8.96kg, 165mm blade, variable speed (2200 – 5200rpm), vertical plunge action, 57mm maximum cutting depth. All Plunge saws work the same way, but their capabilities vary by product. For instance, asthmatics and people with allergies should look for a machine with a dust extraction port capable of connecting to a vacuum. Not only does this minimise irritants in the air, but it also ensures timber particles can’t obscure cut lines. Ideally, look for a dust extraction port that rotates through 360 degrees, reducing the risk of disconnection as you move the plunge saw around.A plunge cut involves any cut that is in the interior of a piece of wood. Think of a square cut out of a rectangle. These drills have a specific job of being precise and clean with the cuts as oftentimes, tight and specific parameters are needed for whatever may be installed into the hole. This is something that a regular circular saw simply can’t do efficiently. So we need to add some kind of guide rail for the saw to run along precisely. This ensures stability and precision.

Taking a left-field approach to this niche market, the R185CCSX is less of a true plunge saw than our other shortlisted contenders. However, it still offers the practicality and versatility of a plunge saw. It’s also cheap, comprehensively equipped, well-regarded and surprisingly lightweight. In addition, this battery-powered plunge saw features an automatic torque technology which provides the appropriate speed needed to cut any materials throw at it. Not only that but also features an electric brake and soft start which makes cutting more fun and interesting than before. So to start, what exactly is a plunge saw and why is it so important for my kitchen renovation? Furthermore, why is a plunge cut saw different from a regular circular saw? These are all questions that will be answered momentarily. Of all the saws tested, the plunge cuts were the cleanest. As mentioned before, the Festool comes very close in cut precision, but this saw takes that level of precision to the next level.Another key feature you want to be looking out for when purchasing a plunge saw is variable speed control. If you intend to work with a wide range of materials, then variable speed control is an absolute must. Not only will it ensure the best cutting results across a variety of material workpieces, it allows for maximum versatility and better levels of control as you work. Other Handy Features For this category, I looked for a saw that had a good quality build as well as a price that wouldn’t break the bank. Even though I stated from the beginning that I was partial and personally owned multiple Makita products, but being unbiased, it is still clear that the Makita plunge saw is a perfect combination of the aforementioned criteria. Keep in mind, though, that the saw does not come with a guide rail, and you will have to buy this separately. Even given that, the price is still considerably lower than the most expensive saws. A very close and also great choice would be the Scheppach plunge saw. Best Budget Plunge Saw The second factor to consider is the size of the motor. A larger motor will be able to handle more strenuous cutting tasks. However, it is also important to consider the weight of the saw. A heavier saw can be more difficult to manoeuvre, making it more difficult to make accurate cuts. A plunge saw is a specialised device you may not need if you consider all options. If you’re unsure whether a plunge saw is suitable, our review of the 21 types of saws will help you decide. Increasingly eclipsing the less practical circular saw, the spring-mounted circular blades on plunge saws are ideal for precise and consistent cuts through the hardest woods.
