A plunge saw, unlike a circular saw where the straight cut has to start from the edge of the material, is used for straight vertical cuts in wood, aluminium & acrylic. Plunge saws are often used by joiners & carpenters particularly in kitchen fitting & cabinet making. The saw is taken to large & unwieldy material to be cut and is more often than not, used with guide rails. Click here to see all our saws
