ScheppachPL55 Plunge Saw | 160mm Circular Saw | 1.4m Track | 1200W | 55cm Depth Cuts Wood, Metal, Plastic, Flooring | 45° Tilt | Inc. Rails & Connector

Have used this saw for engineered flooring and it works really well. It’s sturdy and makes the cuts straight.The only criticism is that the guide rails (2) are too short. Ideally it would be good to have 3 of them so that it is over 2m long allowing for door trimming etc.

The bad points first - setting depth is fiddly as the stop knob just doesn't seem to run smoothly. That mechanism feels very cheap and plasticky so not sure how long it will hold up for if used.On the plus - brilliant value for money and the cut quality and ease of use with the guide rail is superb. I needed the depth as I use it for oak / teak tabletops and furniture - and it goes through them without any issues and tracks really well even when just using the rubber strips on the bottom of the rail to prevent movement. Make sure you're using it correctly - get behind it and push forward to ensure a good cut - but the same holds true for any track saw, if you don't, and it moves - it's not the saw's fault. Really good value for the price paid for it and expecting it to last well from what I've seen over the last few weeks of fairly heavy usage

Good enough ! I've got some have jobs with it and weel done. Just the track I'd say could be better. It holds the saw at the joint, so it could be better made.

This is my first plunge saw. I've found it easy to use. It fits the track well, with once adjusted, no shimmy, giving a very straight cut. Blade replacement is easy (had to insert a special blade to cut compact laminate). No track clamps are supplied with the set. I used a pair from another track saw I had. Would recommend buying track clamps if you don't already have some.

Good sturdy and heavy.Was worried this was too heavy to start with.Never used a plunge saw before but ultimately I’ve used by plunging first off the edge and then sawing down the track.My first attempt at plunging ‘on’ the wood caused kick back.Later read in the instructions that you need an anti-kick back part which is sold separately!And sadly quite expensive as a separate accessory tool item also on Amazon.But without this was no problem for what I was building and therefore used the saw like a normal circular saw with the blade fully down before cutting.Built under stairs cupboards so a multitude of different sized timber and MDF boards.All cut smoothly and with no scorch marks.Had to tighten the blade as after a few days cutting the blade was spinning longer to slow and stop.A quick tighten with the Allen key and back to perfect again.The double track is a good length but extra can be purchased if needed.But I worked around using the 1.4 metre track which at no point did I need to clamp. The track gripped to the MDF just fine for perfect straight cuts.I vacuumed the bottom of the track with the brush attachment to keep any sawdust away and ensure the grip maintained.Overall very happy (but as this is the first plunge saw I am merely confirming happy with price and quality) I can’t compare to other products.

Using this is easy but by far the worst part of it is the cord. The cord is only 1.5 meters long not even long enough to go the whole track length it provides you. WHHHYYY??? it would cost them maybe extra 50 pence to include 3 meter cable. This was the first thing I did was put a 5 meter cable on it because it was so inconvenient with the current cable on it.Replacing the cable properly was a major problem as well had to disassemble the entire sawTracks are ok quality. The replaceable rubber end on them was put on terribly. Not straight and were too long hand to manually cut them short else they'd overlap and create a bump in the track and the saw would not glide properlyOverall the rest is ok it does the job. The depth stop is pretty bad as well if you push too hard the stop doesn't stop it it continues to click down.I know i saw bad things about it but for the price its ok. it cuts straight lines which is what its design to do. Just a few small tweaks and quality control items would bump it up IMO

The saw was awkward to operate but the track was a disaster. It had rubber down the cutting side so until you have cut the full length and the blade has cut off the rubber you cannot see where to cut. Then each time the saw gets to the join in the track the saw gets stuck and you need to very carefully lift the front of the saw over the join in the track.

Only used once so far but really easy to setup , nice clean cut through mdf , the guide was great
