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?


6-1/2" (160mm) with 1" arbor hole. ~$20-40 a pop, not bad. Tenryu and
Oshlun seem to be the brands.
