I'm wishing to take up the laminate flooring in my kitchen the only
problem is that it runs under the kitchen units. Which I don't want to
remove. How can I cut round the edge of them. Will an angle grinder be
able to cut around them or would I be better with a circular saw set
at its shallowist setting.

==================================
If you haven't already removed at least one plinth, do so and check to see
if the units are located on screw-in legs. If they are on legs you 'll be
able to slide the laminate out by selectively propping the units and
screwing the legs up / down.

If you can't do the above, buy a cheap hand-held multitool with a small
circular saw blade to do the cutting.

I suppose that sometimes units settle on the legs and the weight can
transfer to the plinth. I have had my arm under my units several times to
tighten the feet.

A clear case of 'what goes up must come down - eventually'.
