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?

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?

IIRC Forrest makes blades for some of the Festools saws. Either way the
Festool blades seem to be reasonably priced for the quality you are getting.
Keep in mind that "IMHO" $40 $70 for a blade is reasonable. You can find $5
blades for the common circular saw but you sacrifice cut quality when you
use those saws.
