Plunge Saw tutorials.
Mike Sloggatt has been in the construction industry since 1972 and opened the doors to his remodeling company in 1979. After many years of learning his craft, Mike has begun to share his knowledge with others.
In this video series, Mike covers several examples of how you might use a Festool plunge saw in your shop or on the jobsite. As you can see in the videos, Mike is working out of a small garage-based shop. He's able to process sheet goods in a one-person operation and with limited space, something that wouldn't be nearly as easy with a table saw.
Using a plunge saw to create tapered columns.
In this video, Mike demonstrates how easy it is to create a tapered porch column quickly and easily using the Festool TS 55 REBQ Plunge Saw. This method replaces the need for custom table saw jigs and other unsafe or more difficult methods. The TS 55 REBQ produces straight, splinter-free cuts in seconds without the need to struggle with large sheet goods and a table saw. Mike completes assembly using the Festool Domino joiner for quick, easy mortise and tenon joints.
Using a plunge saw to process sheet goods.
In this video, Mike walks us through using a plunge saw to break down plywood, MDF, and other sheet goods. Using a plunge saw produces superior cut quality with no splintering and prevents you from having to lift and run large sheets through a table saw which can be awkward and presents safety concerns. With a plunge saw, multiple sheets can be cut simultaneously, speeding the entire process. A plunge saw is a very versatile tool and can be used for many applications beyond processing sheet goods.
Quickly ripping plywood with a plunge saw.
In this video, Mike demonstrates a quick, easy and safe method of ripping plywood sheets down into equally sized panels or strips. This technique is well suited for producing cabinetry components.

Trimming a door bottom with a plunge saw.
Produce exceptional results when trimming down doors by using a plunge saw. The guide rail, or plunge, provides a quick and easy way to reference your scribe line and the saw can be used to bevel the cut.

Back bevel a door using a plunge saw.
Using a plunge saw can save time and additional steps when back beveling a door. A plunge saw produces finish quality cuts and is a better solution compared to planing or other methods.
Beveling shelves with a plunge saw.
A plunge saw is a great solution for making complex bevel or miter cuts and offers a better solution than a table saw. A plunge saw can also overcome the capacity issues of making such cuts with a miter saw. The compact, lightweight design of a plunge saw can also save valuable shop space and give you the ability to make these types of cuts and others on the jobsite.
