plunge cut saw

A plunge cut saw is a power tool used to make precise cuts into materials like wood or plastic. Its unique feature is the ability to start cutting from the middle of a surface, not just from the edge, thanks to a blade that can be "plunged" down into the material. This allows for more accurate, clean cuts, particularly for tasks like making holes or cuts for outlets. It's often used in woodworking and construction for interior work where clean, controlled cuts are essential. The saw is usually mounted on a guide rail for straight, consistent cuts.
