What brand of laminate did you cut? I use Wilson Art flooring which
makes me cringe each time I bring the blade down on my carbide
blade-equipped CMS. I'm still mulling over my options for cutting the
already-installed flooring for some new cabinets. I've got a carbide
blade for my 6-1/2" circular saw, but that will only do the long
straight runs. I'll need another tool to cut into the corners and up
against walls. Any ideas?




The same guy who used to go arouns to the woodworkign shows and
sell the drill bits that drill through files etc, sold reciprocating
saw blades (sawzall and saber saw) that were edged with silicon
carbide abrasive. If you can find one of those or the equivalent,
they might do the job. You could make a handle for one of those to
make a pad saw for getting into really tight places.

Does that company have an online presence?

I just bought a carbide edged bit for my Sawzall but the stroke on the
Sawzall is over an inch long, which would have me cutting well through
the floor as well as the laminate.

Is there a jig-saw-like tool that cuts flush and has a carbide edged bit
available?? I could limit it's cutting depth by covering the laminate
with a block of wood and the stroke of a jigsaw should be a lot less
than my Sawzall.
