Sharpening the saw every other cut would be a might bit slow.

news:F05Le.4691 I joined this thread late... If the OP marked his cuts
fairly deep with a
knife and then used a good sharp handsaw I don't see any reason for him to
not get acceptable cuts for flooring. He'd probably do better than he
would
with a mediocre CMS and mediocre blade... If he's doing this at night and
noise is a concern it doesn't sound like he's looking for production
speed.
