Alternative Model:
Consider the Makita SP6000J. This corded plunge-cut circular saw offers similar precision and accuracy but is better suited for professionals who work in locations with consistent power access. While the SP001GZ03 excels with its cordless power and advanced features, the SP6000J provides uninterrupted performance for detailed cutting tasks in workshop environments where continuous power is critical.
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
