Why exactly are plunge saws regarded as more precise than circular saws both on a rail?
Afaik the only reason that i know of is that normal circular saws have more play on a rail or is there something more to it?
The festool hk 55 has the same knobs to tighten up on the rail like the ts55 so why would the ts be more precise?


I was thinking about getting a plunge saw but for my next project i would mostly have to cut posts and boards to length but next up would be boards.
The hk 55 fits on the fsk rail unlike the ts 55.
That would kill the need for a mitre saw.

The hk + fsk and normal rail would be cheaper than a makita or bosch plunge saw + extra mitre saw

And since i dont have a workshop i always work oudside so the hk solution looks like a perfect fit for me IF its as precise as a plunge saw
