Will this saw do plunge cutting

Yes indeed I it does. There's a screw knob on top that you unscrew and the saw moves into a miter saw mode.

Probably not; the saw body is not svelte. The cut would be canted down toward the end of the blade. Best to just cut it level 1" off the deck, then use a grinder to get flush.

No. It's intended to be used for straight cuts. You could probably clamp it down and make it work but there are better tools for that.

Yes. I have cut through hardwoods and hard plastics with this saw with no difficulties.

it is a chain saw, it will do the same as any other chain saw of it's size. So yes it will . I cut a tree down, and cut it up into manageable pieces.

I have done plunge cuts with this saw. You have to make sure to hold it very securely and the way I did it is to first touch the front of the plate to the surface to be cut and very slowly lower the handle. It is NOT made to do plunge cuts and it is a risky procedure, it is also very difficult to have and precision at all. The risk being that the whole saw will back off. I wish they had a jigsaw. You may want to try and drill holes first. I did it in a rather soft plywood material. I would not want to do this on metal.

The saw is capable and has plenty of power, depending on you putting the correct blade on it, it will do fine, assuming that you are not cutting 1" hard steal.

I think this saw would have no problem cutting laminate flooring. But make sure you use the right blade and cut it upside down or it will chip.

Yes the plunge portion has a depth adjuster that you can set for repeated cuts I have used it and it works well

I suppose it could, though not designed for that. I think that a true plunge cut bit might have a bit more offset and grind on the leading (bottom) edges for relief. If looking for a plunge cut bit, why not buy one and save the money....I'm sure the bearing costs extra and you wouldn't need it.

See Jane's answer. While the saw wasn't made for that purpose, with the correct blade, it should not be a problem.

Yes the saw does plunge cuts. It cuts 24" well. I lay thousands of tiles a year and I don't know why I didn't buy this saw sooner.

Yes it will, however you will have to use a hack saw and cut a bit to size.I had to do that on mine and works fine.

I haven't used the carbide/diamond/ whatever the masonary blade is yet, but I would think it would cut ok on that. I've plunge cut drywall, 3/4 plywood and 2 x 4's with the steel toothed blades. I don't think you'll get a clean cut line on tile like a diamond blade wet saw, but you should be able to cut very close to the wall.

You do not need a plunge, because you are running the edges. A plunge is used for dropping your cutting bit down on the face. If you try without a plunge it will almost always jump around on you destroying the piece you are milling.
