can you plunge cut with this saw

Yes you can. There is a stopthat you can adjust to prevent a "through" cut or you can open the stop and plunge all the way through. I highly recommend this saw.

Yes you can. On some cuts, thats the only way I could get a nice clean cut, as the stone was so soft. You can't beat the 'bang for your buck' you get with this saw. Used on two tiling jobs using granite and ceramic tile, and was very pleased with its performance.

Sure, withthe proper blade it would be fine. Keep in mind that this type of saw is really not meant for a stright line cut and depending on the thickness of the material vs. the blade, the blade can wander off course.

No don't do it! A dry cut saw turns at a much slower RPM and is able to use this blade. A regular chop saw will ruin this blade and the material. Be safe not sorry.

If you can find a blade, and I'm fairly sure you can. The saw has excellent support that would be required for a clean, straight cut. All my other jig saws would fail because of lack of support. This is an excellent saw. Best in it's class.Jim

You can use it like a wet saw but it is for dry sawing only. You will need to go slowly and not let the blade overheat.

Yes but dry cutting not on wet saw table if you have alot tobcut get the totally roung dismond blade not segmented its better on concrete and cinder blocks

I've done just about everything with this tool but cut a piece of tile out. I have laid a lot of ceramic tile and I would probably not suggest using the tool to do a plunge cut into ceramic tile. I love this tool, but I suggest you get yourself a ceramic tile drill bit and drill a hole and then use a Dremel with a tile bit. It has the high speed you need. The Rockwell has amazing power, but I don't see the grout removal tool being able to plunge cut the tile accurately.

Yes but you need dremel router part, Dremel 335-01 Plunge Router Attachment

I think you can, but this may be more than you need for a single yard project. There are cheap non sliding 10' chop saws that may not be much more heavy.

I don't think you will find it able to plunge cut that deep. Also fair to mention, this acts differently with various make ups of foam. Some, it will cut cleanly, yet others it kind of just melts around the wire. If you can remove the foam from the gun case, you could test a small area to see if it works. If so you may be able to make the cut you need and reglue it back in the case once you test fight your rifle. Hope this helps.

Yes it can, you can use a small saw, but be sure to measure the height you need before doing it (there's no going back). Also, be sure to do it in a straight line, or the rubber base won't fit propperly afterwards.

This is not the saw for that at all. The limiting factor is really the 1/3hp - not the cutting capacity. Green wood is very difficult on a machine. At a minimum you want a 1hp saw like the craftsman BAS350, Rikon 10-321, or the Grizzly G0555

I have done plunge cuts with this saw. You have to make sure to hold it very securely and the way I did it is to first touch the front of the plate to the surface to be cut and very slowly lower the handle. It is NOT made to do plunge cuts and it is a risky procedure, it is also very difficult to have and precision at all. The risk being that the whole saw will back off. I wish they had a jigsaw. You may want to try and drill holes first. I did it in a rather soft plywood material. I would not want to do this on metal.

I highly doubt it, but if so it would take a long time to do so. But in defense of the saw, such cuts are not the intended purpose of this saw. This saw is intended for smaller cuts in tight spaces where boards need to be cut flush. For the cuts you are doing you should use either a table saw or a circular saw. Preferably the table saw.

I doubt it. Laying down, yes. Standing up you could do it in two cuts, but you're better off buying a bigger saw.

If the blade works on it yes. However it's only going to cut so far into it. I'd be looking at a different type of saw if I was trying to do that.

Yes---however, I would practice the cut first so you get the feel of the job. I rarely use my other hand saws any more.
