A plunge saw (or track saw) is a power tool, very similar to a ‘circular saw’ designed to make straight cuts and more often than not used in conjunction with a ‘track’ or ‘guide’.Click to see full answer. People also ask, what’s the difference between a plunge saw and circular saw?A plunge saw has a different design which removes the need for a conventional retractable blade guard, as the blade is enclosed within the machine. This ensures multiple benefits versus the traditional circular saw including: The blade can be plunged at any point into the material you are cutting. can you use a plunge saw blade in a circular saw? Most standard circular-saw blades have a 5/8″ arbor hole that is too small to fit the arbor on the Plunge Saw. Blades with a kerf thickness less than 2.2mm will not allow the Plunge Saw riving knife to operate correctly. In this regard, what are track saws used for? Track saws are used to make long, precise cuts in wood materials faster and more efficiently than circular and table saws. Plus, they’re portable, light, and, since rubber strips on the bottom of the track prevent slips, they don’t require clamping prior to getting started.Do I need a plunge saw?If you’re using a plunge saw over a table saw, it means that you can cut in a far smaller space. When using a table saw you’ll need infeed or outfeed space for your material. However, because a plunge saw will slice into your material whilst in situ there’s no need for that additional room.
