Situation: Kitchen floor, linoleum tile over particle board--bad
choice!--why? because the leaky water heater (since replaced) caused
the underlayment to buckle, and it now needs to be removed.

Problem: Underlayment apparently runs under the sink counter.

Question: What tool would one use to cut the underlayment around the
bottom of the counter? There's an overhang over the front. I'm
guessing some kind of "zero clearance" saw, but am not familiar with
these.

What would a pro do?



Did a little more research. It's called a toe kick saw.

Crain 795 Toe-Kick Saw $255 shipping included.

Well lookie here. Harbor Freight has one for $60. May even have
bearings...and metal ones at that.
