Plunge and Track Saws

Learn more about plunge and track saws

If you want to move quickly through sheet materials, a plunge and track saw setup is built for straight, controlled cutting on site or in the workshop. It suits tradespeople who need repeatable cuts and a cleaner line on visible edges.

Travis Perkins works with leading manufacturers and offers a wide range of trade-trusted brands, so you can compare product specifications and choose the saw setup that fits the work in front of you.

Typical uses

• Cutting down sheet materials such as plywood, MDF and laminate boards.

• Making long straight cuts in flooring, doors and kitchen worktops.

• Breaking down panels before final fitting.

• Working on site or in a workshop where controlled cutting matters.

How to choose the right plunge or track saw

• Start with the cuts you do most often and whether you need a guide rail set-up.

• Check whether a plunge saw, a track saw or a plunge saw with track matches the job.

• Look at the power supply first, corded plunge saw for steady power access, cordless plunge saw for more movement on site.

• If you already use a guide rail system, check compatibility with the saw, rail, clamps and adapters.

• Check blade size, cutting depth, bevel range and dust extraction connection against the materials you cut most.

• For visible cuts, choose the blade and rail set-up that suits the finish you need.

Before you order

• Check what's included with the saw and whether you need rails, clamps, adapters, splinter guards or guide stops separately.

• Confirm rail length and track saw system compatibility if you plan to cut larger sheets or longer runs.

• Make sure the saw, blades and accessories suit the materials you cut most, including plywood, laminate and worktops.

• If you're matching an existing set-up, double check the saw and rail system before you buy, so you do not end up with parts that do not fit together.
