Tool Selection Wizard

First, it translates your choices into a “job needs” profile (what kind of cutting action you need, and how challenging your material is). Then it builds candidate ToolPackage options (tool type + accessory spec) and scores each one for compatibility, workspace fit (including ClearanceDepthOrReach), and dust/safety suitability based on DustSafetyPriority.

Most problems come from accessory mismatch—like using a coarse/general blade on fragile laminate or the wrong disc for metal. DustSensitivePriority can also change the recommendation (for example, steering you toward low-dust methods or wet cutting for tile when needed). For Plunge/Cut-in jobs, the wizard considers whether the tool can realistically start the cut in your workspace without access for pre-drilling.

This wizard estimates feasibility by tool class and typical accessory behavior—it can’t guarantee exact model compatibility, blade size fit, or extraction-system performance. Always verify: accessory type is correct for your material, you have enough clearance for safe operation beyond the requested depth, and your dust setup is properly sealed and effective. For dust-sensitive areas, treat the score as guidance, not a substitute for correct PPE and proper containment.

If ClearanceDepthOrReach is extremely low (near 0–10 mm), it avoids recommending standard “full-depth” cutting tools and instead favors shallow/entry-capable approaches. For Tile/Ceramic with Score-Then-Snap, it limits the score-based method when DustSafetyPriority is very high and steers toward wet-cut options when available. If the top recommendation is infeasible due to clearance or dust constraints, the wizard provides a Backup Option tailored to your constraints.
