Make straight, splinter-free cuts in wood anywhere in your facility. Also known as plunge saws, they mount to a precision track (sold separately) and move along the track for a straight cut. They’re more portable than a table saw and deliver the same power as an electric track saw without requiring you to be near an outlet. A high-voltage rechargeable battery gives them enough power to maintain speed while cutting through thick and hard materials. These saws have a brushless motor that optimizes battery usage, so they run longer on a single charge. It also enhances longevity—they run cool and have few moving parts that require maintenance.

These saws feature two control dials: one for speed and one for depth. Slow the blade down for cutting hard woods or speed it up for soft woods. You can also raise and lower the blade to cut at a precise depth. To reduce kickbacks, they have a riving knife, a small piece of metal behind the blade. If the material starts to kick back, small teeth grip and dig into it. Connect the dust port to a dust collector to suck up the sawdust generated by your cuts.

Some saws include rechargeable batteries. For saws where they’re not included, see DeWalt batteries and chargers and Milwaukee batteries and chargers.
