Rubber lip on the guide rail acts as a splinter guard; it prevents fraying of the surface while sawing wooden materials As the second cheapest saw on this list, I was really pleased with the quality of the build as well as its cutting power.

With that said, this is an amazing saw with great ergonomics. It just feels good in the hand. With the slightly higher price point, I was expecting a little more power, but I was surprised to see the 1200-watt motor handled pretty much everything and was more than ample. It can also be used for clamping smaller bits of wood together, either for adhesive purposes or for cutting with a different saw. Comes With: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. Also, I was very happy to see it come with two guide rails, a connecter bar, and a bag. Plus, the plunge depth is an impressive 55mm. The first is the depth of cut. This is determined by the size of the blade and the depth of the throat plate. For most applications, a depth of 2-3 inches will be sufficient. However, for more intricate work, a saw with a deeper throat plate may be necessary. Made from durable materials such as heavy-duty nylon to protect the guide rail from scratches, dirt, and minor impacts 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.

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.The third factor to consider is the type of blade. There are two main types of blades: carbide-tipped and diamond-tipped. Carbide-tipped blades are more durable and can withstand more wear and tear. Diamond-tipped blades, on the other hand, are designed for more delicate work and can provide a cleaner cut. Which plunge saw should you buy? Cutting guide will give an approximate line of cut. For a straight cut, use the 0° notch and for 45° cut, use the 45° notch The Scheppach is comparable to the Bosch in terms of the price point, but you get a little more for your money if you are not concerned with names.
