Default Cutting bottom of baseboard while it is still on the wall

I want to install laminate flooring in a room with existing vinyl. I
don't think I will have enough of a gap after I remove the vinyl so
that the baseboard can act as a 1/4" expansion gap. So..... is there a
tool that will allow me to rip a long section of baseboard or am I
stuck using the quarter rounds?

Thanks,

Most people take the baseboard off, then re-install it. Hint, write a
number on the back of the baseboard and on the wall it came off of so you
put the same pieces back where they came from.

To answer your question directly, you can rent a jamb (sp) saw from any
rental place. This is used to under cut door jams so the flooring will slip
under the jams. You could run this all around baseboard in the room. If you
go this route, the baseboard may not look right. You have to decide that.
