Default Carpet - tuck or no tuck?

Its pretty tall baseboard so losing the bottom 1/2" of it or so isn't a
factor at all.


I don't know what your trim looks like, so this may be the worse idea in the
world, but you may consider taking an undercut saw and removing the bottom
1/2" of your baseboard without removing it.


Anyone every try this? I've seen an undercut saw used for casings, of
course, but never seen it used for an entire length of baseboard. I
mean, some places in the house have a 24+ foot run of straight
baseboard. Can an undercut saw cut evenly enough over that length a
run? My fear is that I'd be trading one potential eyesore (untucked
carpet) for another (uneven baseboard).
