Overview
Not a framing circular saw, the Festool plunge saw drops its blade into the work to make clean, splinter free cuts along a guide rail. It runs on an eighteen volt battery and has a sensor that stops kickback as you plunge.
Cabinetmakers and installers get rail guided precision without a cord, plus a kickback sensor and a thin blade that stretches runtime. The kit contains no battery, charger or rail, so it suits owners already on the platform.
Who it's for
Cabinet builders and site installers breaking down plywood and worktops will use the plunge and rail system daily. Buyers starting from scratch face extra purchases.
Pros and cons
- Thin kerf blade saves battery
- Clear sliding view window
- Bevel past forty five degrees
- Systainer case included
- Battery and charger not included
- Guide rail sold separately
- Heavy for one hand use
Performance notes
Cut quality depends on the guide rail and the fine tooth blade, with the splinter guard reducing tear out. The thin kerf removes less material, so the brushless motor spends less battery per cut. KickbackStop senses a sudden stall and stops the blade.
