Einhell Plunge Saw 1200W, Tool-Free Adjustment of Cutting Depth + Tilt Angle, High-Grade Carbide Saw Blade, Blade Lock TE-PS 165

Essential for kitchen installation, giving clean straight cuts every time.

Great value, accurate cuts, easy to use. Spend some time setting the saw up before you use, don't rely on measurements on the saw. I used a square to get blade at 90° you could do this for 45° doesn't take long and gives good accuracy in your cuts. Buy a decent blade I got a 60 tooth blade for around €20. Purchased two tracks for cutting long pieces it's definitely well worth it.

So far I've used for 90 degree and 45 degree cuts on hard wood (I did change out the blade for a better quality blade with more teeth and a finer kerf). For the money I've found it excellent. Not doing enough to justify spending four time the money. 1) - Plunge depth easy to set and on/off and plunge switch are easy to control and operate one handed. 2) - Fits securely on track (bought separately) and runs smooth and straight. 3) - Blade change is easy peasy and standard size makes finding upgraded blades cheap and readily available. 4) - The mitre tilt isn't great and requires some test cuts to get right, treat the numbers on the dial as a guide but not to set the angle for your final cut. It took me 3 test cuts to get an accurate 45 degree mitre on an edge. 5) - Power cable length is excellent. 6) - Dust collection fitted my Bosch shop vac nice and snug.

After a little use the engine still sounds very rough, machine works very well but is extremely noisy, sounds gritty and is very loud. Blade cuts well and leaves a goid edge but the unsmooth sound of the engine is annoying. So im dropping for this reason im dropping 5 stars to 4

Top notch piece of equipment - the build quality for the price is exceptional

Cut end decor panels and trimmed skirting board with ease

While not exactly cheap, this is a budget tool. Amazon refunded me a first one because the sole plate was warped. The second has been fine. It does tend to collect dust in the shroud no matter what I do and the depth stop for the blade does need to be tightened well. If you want to use it to rip boards, I found it works well but the blades don't stay sharp for long and I needed to invest in spares accordingly. The range of replacement blades was not large. I bought the tracks separately and they work fine. Tear out becomes an issue as the blades wear. This was the best solution I had to cutting long boards dead straight and I'm happy enough that I achieved that.

Good saw, capable of straight, clean cuts with a guide rail (I use Evolution G2 rails). Dust extraction is pretty bad: with a shop vac connected and even with the hole on the side taped over, dust is forced forward. The other problem is that the cams keep coming loose, letting the saw have too much play on the track if you’re not careful.
