I need to plunge cut sections of a deck floor to replace them. Will this saw plunge cut a 2x6 deck board?

It depends on how thick your decking planks are. The blade has a maximum cutting depth of 1 1/16". Anything over that won't be cut.

you should be able to cut through these boards with no problems,but check for nails first.

At 1 3/4 depth cut you will just make it and the plunge action is ver smooth, I prefer two hands for better control then one hand for the rip, if possible I would use the guide rails

We are presently cutting 6" X 24" porcelain tiles and are having no problems. We don't think you will have any problems cutting the tiles you described. we really like our tile saw. Good luck.

It's not built to do plunge cuts. The track can be rotated for angled cuts but that's about it. You get what you pay for on this one. It is nice for what it does do though

Yes it will.... Here are the spec's on the floor saw Skil 3600-02 Floor Saw SPECIFICATIONS: Weight: 25 lbs. Amperage: 7 Arbor Size: 20mm Base Width: 26-3/4-in W x 17-3/4-in D Blade Diameter: 4-3/8 in. RPM: 11000 Voltage: 120V

Yes. My flooring was a little more than 1/4 in but not quite a 1/2 in and I was cutting it with no problem what so ever. So I know it can cut 1/2 in. Again a great tool makes installing laminated flooring a breeze.

It sure willThe slots are divided into thirds.thin, medium,and thick. You move the board at the end to the size position you desire. Slice away. You get 4 to 5 slices in each position.

Remember this is a plunge base for a trim router --- plunging too deeply will result in a rough cut as well as potential motor bearing problems -- I have "hogged out" material as deep as 1/2 inch in very hard white oak-- this is a great tool-- love it----

Mitchell, I am not sure of the maximum width this saw will cut. I know that we were cutting 6" x 4" angle in it with the corner of the angle in the vertical position. The rear "vise" section of the saw is adjustable forward and backwards to allow for larger pieces of steel. I can check it tomorrow and get back to you. I do know that this is one kick*** saw and am very pleased with it. I use another saw in my shop that I cut wider plate so this is why I am not sure about the maximum width. I will get back to you.

I was able to cut through pressure treated 4x4's with mine, I even cut through PT 6x6 with it. You have to turn it, but it will do it.

I don't think so since the jig and the angle of the drilling and screw installation guides is designed for 5/4 or 1 1/8" standard deck boards, plus I don't think Kreg makes the special screws required in a longer length that would be required for a 1 1/2" thick 2x6 board. You might try contacting Kreg Tool on their web site.

It does do plunge cuts. It will rip a 24" fine. Expect to take time to calibrate and adjust slides after shipping

I used my saw to cut treated 2x6 lumber on my pier. It ripped right through cleanly and quickly. A bit hard on the battery use though, so you're going to need extras. Overall, I was impressed and pleased with my purchase.

yes.2x6 boards (which is what this is designed for) refers to the with before it is trimmed at the lumber mill. after trimming a 2x6 is technically a 1 1/2" x 5 1/2"

Don't think you can do plunge cuts with it. I just cut large tiles with straight cuts.

Not sure what you mean by 'deck' here - if you mean the base on which the wood you are cutting sits - yes. If you mean a stand that the saw is placed on that allows you to stand upright and do your cutting - no.

Yes the saw does plunge cuts. It cuts 24" well. I lay thousands of tiles a year and I don't know why I didn't buy this saw sooner.

It would certainly work in theory. But in practice, since a drill press and tightly clamped boards are required, you'd likely be unable to hold the drill motor firmly enough to get the effect you're seeking. Simply, my guess is that the bit would skid all over gouging your deck boards as it twirled.
