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

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?

Would you use a good wood cutting blade to cut aluminum? *Some are
designed to rip, crosscut, general combo blades, etc., *the blade that
comes with it will take care of 99% of your neeeds if only cutting wood..

Do you have to buy Festool blades?

You WANT to buy Festool blades. None equal the quality and precision.
They are competitive in price with blades of similar quality.... and
no, not those you buy at HD.

Dammit, you cheap mofo's... it is a system. So if you want to deliver
an excellent product, you pay a smidge more up front, but the payback
at the other end makes it all worth while.

North Americans are so used to being scammed that they seem to have
lost all trust in those companies who DO work harder at delivering an
honest, reliable and hard-working product. Case-in-point: IF you were
to be displeased with a Festool purchase, you either a) don't know how
to use it, or b) something is wrong, which they WILL set right. Or
your money back. This is hard?

Many years ago, Dick Cavett had the CEO of GM on his show, and Dick
asked him if GM could make a car like a Mercedes Benz. The answer was:
"Yes we can, but we'd have to charge the same money as a Mercedes
Benz." (Now, please, don't get into my face about MB not being all
that great... there was a time when they were, but nowadays, meh,
they're just another car company, unlike Audi...*G*.)
