Have you tried it at trimming tubasix (or composite) deck ends

Not personally ... but in a video there is a shot of a Festool
plunge
saw
being used to trim composite decking ... it looked like "ChoiceDek",
but
could have been Trex.

That would be a function of the blade, and Festool has appears to
have
blades for most any material, from wood to metal.

Hold on a sec! Do you have to buy Special blades?

Are you asking if the 5-for-a-dollar Oldham Destructo blades will
work?
.
How much for the granite blades?
Those tend to break easily when they're being mounted on the saw. They
never really caught on, most people prefer blades made from some kind
of metal.

Uh.......do they have blades for cutting granite? {:-)

Max? Really? Okay... I forgot the goofy smirkicon.

Yes they do. Many diamond blades, dry (I dunno about wet & T75) can be
had at 8.25 diam with any bore you like.
I use a very old, but flawless Milwaukee sidewinder with a Bosch
diamond blade and I cut quartz (even) like it it is stubborn hardwood.
NOT in the customers' home. It makes clouds of dust.

I'm just finishing up the base cabinets for the "sink" side of the kitchen
and I'm discussing countertop material with SWMBO.
*I'm* inclined toward tile. We've had this for almost 24 years and there are
*no* chips anywhere.
