Duane,

I need to cut the floor into two section at a doorway to seperate the room's
floor from the hall floor. It will be a cross cut at an angle, due to the
positioning of the door. Unfortunately the trim that I would have to remove
is the actually door jamb, so that not real practical.

Basically I need to cute across the saddle of the doorway seperating the
floor into two pieces, that inside the room and that outside the room.

Pop brings up an interesting idea. Maybe a good crosscut saw and some hand
alignment will finish it off. The

Lots of flush-cut hand saws around, similar to the back-saws for
a miter box. Never used one but I've seen flush-cut jigsaws,
too. They also make an offset blade for jigsaws that'll flush
cut - if they fit your saw.
Time to surf the local suppliers.

Didn't say which way the cut is in relation to orientation of flooring
nor what is the end objective/need for cut so can't comment much on
exact solution.

However, removing baseboard should allow to get close enough to wall w/
above suggestions to hide the joint under the baseboard when replaced.
Adding a shoe mould when done is another trick.
