A 6.5-inch plunge-cut circular saw that runs on a guide track for straight, splinter-free cuts in sheet goods. The plunge mechanism lets you drop the blade into the middle of a panel instead of starting from an edge, which is the main reason buyers pick it over a standard circular saw. It suits home woodworkers and remodelers who cut plywood, MDF and countertops without a table saw. Against dedicated track saws from the big brands it is a simpler, lighter tool, and owners describe the plunge action as smooth and the setup as easy.

Owners who cut sheet goods at home rate it highly, with the plunge feature and smooth operation singled out. The typical buyer is someone without shop space or a table saw setup.
This 6.5-inch plunge cut circular track saw has a 10-amp motor that spins the blade at up to 5,500 RPM. It can be used on the included guide track for long, straight cuts, or on its own as a plunge saw with its flat base. It is used for ripping plywood, trimming doors, building furniture and other work that needs long, precise cuts.
The base measures 12 x 6-5/8 inches and has grooves that let the saw glide along the track. Non-slip base cams reduce pinching and minimize kickback. A back-mounted dust port connects to a dust collection system. The blade has three settings: a scoring cut 1/8 inch deep, a full plunge cut, and one that simplifies blade changes.
The saw makes 45-degree bevel cuts in boards up to 1-5/8 inches thick. The depth gauge sets the plunge depth anywhere from 0 to 2-1/3 inches. The kit includes two 55-inch tracks and an adapter set with four set screws. The set joins the tracks to rip 8-foot by 4-foot plywood sheets, and it is compatible with other track saws.
