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,

Just put in laminate in a few rooms. Pulled the baseboard off and cut
the moulding around the doors. Easy to pull the baseboard off. Just
drive the nails through with a nail set. Bought a flush cut saw at Home
Depot. Handle is offset and reversible for right and left side cuts.
Just use a piece of wood the same thickness as the floor. Probably will
still have to use some 1/4 round where the bases can't be cut.
