JohnKay Posted May 20, 2013 Report Share Posted May 20, 2013 If you've got a lot of material to cut, can I recommend getting a track guided plunge saw. The accuracy is superb, just position the track on the cut line, and away you go. there's not even any need to clamp down the track in most cases. As the depth of cut can be set with great accuracy, you could even make a cut with the material lying on a bit of old carpet. It can even be used to trim a door. Downside being the damage to the piggy bank ! I've used a system with a track guided saw for what must be about 20 years now. I hardly ever use a conventional circular saw, in my opinion, one of the most dangerous tools you can use, as they can so easily kick back if the blade binds at all. Even worse with me, being left handed. If you do use one, get a guide clamp, or arrange some sort of guide, both to obtain some accuracy, and to avoid kick back. So if that piggy bank is up to it, all the major power tool makers supply plunge saws, have a look ! Any comments ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
