Scheppach PL55 Plunge Saw | 160mm Circular Saw | 1.4m Track | 1200W | 55cm Depth Cuts Wood, Metal, Plastic, Flooring | 45° Tilt | Inc. Rails & Connector

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.

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.

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.

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.

Got this for Christmas, it's a sturdy piece of kit but I've had a few issues. Firstly the plug on UK spec is bad. It's an eu->UK conversion that broke on my first use, the power cable is short and it resulted in the cable being pulled and that was sufficient to break the plug. Secondly the guide wasn't finished correctly, on joining the two pieces I found that the saw wouldnt easily traverse the join. I was able to remediate this by swopping the two seconds around moving the problem piece to the end I'd not use. Having said that, the saw is very sturdy, the cuts are accurate and it doesn't lack power. I've hooked up my dust extraction and it has significantly reduced the dust spread, but there will still be some. All in all I'm happy with the product, but a little better quality would have made this a 5*

We returned the saw for a refund. The saw is not fit for purpose. It is impossible to cut a straight line to the measurement you want- we tried several times without luck. There is also a slight movement in the circular blade which throws the cutting line off track.

Had an issue with delivery but contacted Scheppach direct and spoke with Scott and he resolved the issue straightaway, customer service excellent👍👍

As described , does an excellent job. Except , two sections of track meet less than perfectly which stalls the saw as it passes along the track.

Très bien pour un bricoleur averti, fait parfaitement le job.

Gute Säge, man sollte aber das mitgelieferte Sägeblatt direkt tauschen, das taugt nicht. Ja, die sägeuist laut, aber dafür trägt man (hoffentlich) Gehörschutz...

Sirvió perfectamente para lo que necesitaba por el mínimo dinero posible.
