Tool Review ▼ Plunge-cut Rail Saws By Chris Marshall These clean-cutting saws offer table saw precision and panel saw potential, with safety features your circular saw just can't touch. No dust was removed for this photo. DeWalt's unit was up third for the cutting test when our field editor realized the dust accumulation (from all three saws) was miniscule. 5* When il comes lo ordinary circular saws. I'm a skeplic. They're hard to steer on a straight line, they blow dust all over everything, and without a riving knife, well, they're like kickbacks with a handle. My biggest beef, though, is that circ saws don't cut very cleanly, no matter what blade I use. I want my circular saw to make finished cuts. Even a half inch of expensive sheet goods is too much to lose to a splintered or scorched circ saw cut. Well, there are much better — albeit pricey — portable saws for picky folks like me. If you're a Festool fan, you're no doubt familiar with the TS 55 EQ (W-diameler) and TS 75 EQ (81.") Plunge-cut Saws. Their bases fit onto an aluminum guide rail to make arrow-straight cuts. The rails have a soft, replaceable edge strip that meets the blade lo reduce splintering and chip-out. This splinterguard also doubles as an exact blade index for setting up cuts: just align the rail edge right to your layout marks for spot-on 90° and beveled cuts.
