Frequently asked questions
Are budget plunge saws any good?
For DIY and lighter trade use, yes - budget saws from Triton, GMC and Evolution cut cleanly and straight on a rail, often with a rail included in the kit. You pay more for the refinement, dust extraction, battery ecosystem and durability of premium brands, but the core straight-cutting works well across the range.
