As the host of beloved and groundbreaking TV series including “This Old House” and “Bob Vila’s Home Again,” he popularized and became synonymous with “do-it-yourself” home improvement. The system avoids the need for frequently connecting rails—saving downtime during cut setup. Plus, a solid rail always provides straighter cuts than a rail with joinery. If you do need to connect the rails to rip 4×8 sheet goods, Bosch makes connectors. If you work with delicate materials like melamine plates, laminates or vinyl then a saw with a scoring feature is a good choice. A scoring feature will create a very shallow pass on the material to be cut. The next pass will cut the material completely. Scoring the surface protects the delicate material from breaking. Safety features matters for all tool users Ultimately it comes down to what’s more important for the user: unlimited power (where power is available) or portability (as long as there are spare batteries on hand). Cord Length
To begin, I started ripping the length of the 4×8 sheets in half and then ripped them down to a little less than 12 inch widths. Intentionally, I started with the roughest sheet goods and I ripped the CDX sheets first and the cut edges were a furniture-making quality cut. Dust Collection One customer who bought this saw to replace an old electric circular saw that they had been using for over a decade wrote, “The Worx circular saw is a great tool. The battery power is great. The absence of an electrical cord also makes the saw much more maneuverable, and I can work on projects in remote parts of my property because I don't need to be near an electrical outlet. Great buy!” Kreg appears on our list multiple times thanks to the excellent job they do of balancing cost and performance with their tools and accessories. The Kreg KMA2685 circular saw guide is sturdy and smartly designed to be easy to use and work with most circular saws. It uses a combination of aluminum and plastic to keep the weight and price down without sacrificing much in the way of effectiveness.Speed settings: Speed control allows you to cater the speed of the blade to the type of material you’re cutting. It helps to avoid burning the wood, creating excessive splinters, or damaging the blade. This battery-powered plunge saw from Makita runs off two 18-volt batteries for a total of 36 volts of power, meaning that this is no weakling when it comes to slicing through plywood and other materials. While the manufacturer doesn't give an expected runtime for the batteries, many buyers specifically mentioned that even after multiple cuts, the battery charge was still at more than 50 percent. When the batteries do finally run down, it only takes around 45 minutes to recharge them. The saw has a 6 1/2-inch blade and variable speeds of 2,500 rpm to 6,300 rpm with a soft-start that lets you ease into cutting. It also has Makita's Automatic Speed Change Technology, which automatically adjusts the saw's speed and torque to best suit the performance of the tool. You can even use this plunge saw to cut through aluminum, man-made countertop materials such as Corian, and melamine, but you'll need to swap out the blade for an optional, material-specific blade to do so.
The GKT 55 GCE Professional corded plunge saw delivers highly precise, clean cuts in a variety of materials. Its high-quality machine components, precision saw blade, and matching guide rail system ensure extremely precise results. The saw’s efficient dust extraction system and noise-reduced blade make work comfortable, especially indoors. Furthermore, its adjustable speed setting enables cuts in a multitude of materials. Equipment & Application Each rail includes a little plastic end cover which is more clever than it seems. While it protects the end of the aluminum rail from dents and dings, it also rounds off the edge of the rail. This lets the 12-foot power cord or dust extraction hose slide more easily over the rail. It reduces a major source of interference and distraction. There was zero vibration with a nice, upright handle position, sensible switches, and easily the most power. Plus, it can provide -1 to 47-degree bevel cuts. This saw delivered on all counts. The tools are equipped with speed preselection for sawing different materials. In the case of the cordless plunge circular saw, it is even possible to individually set the speed levels using the user interface (HMI) and a smartphone.Replaceable splinter guards, as well as optional clamps also give more versatility to the saws use. Bosch designed this saw to have two adjustment clamping screws at either end of the saw body. The adjustment scale is at the front of the saw. That scale shows the adjustment will range from -1 degree for undercuts to 47 degrees. Interestingly, the detent that allows for increasing the range from 45 to 47 degrees is a button on the front scale that needs to be pressed to engage the extra degrees. The detent that allows for the -1 degree cut is in a similar position on the rear of the saw.
Our plunge saws are available in a wide range of scopes of delivery, whether as a single saw in the L-BOXX, in a set with a guide rail, or – in the case of the cordless plunge circular saw – with a guide rail, rechargeable batteries and a charger. Additionally. the saw has a speed adjustment to vary the speed for different materials from 3,200 to 6,250 rpm. In addition to that, the design of the blade guard on circular saws prevents you from being able to control dust very well as you operate. This is an especially troublesome issue if you are working indoors as fine particles of sawdust floating through the air cause a huge mess and can get into your airways. The front stability handle on the saw is wide open and oversized for a good positive control feeling all the way through a long cut.Stan has been involved with Design and Construction in the commercial industry since 1975.
