Cutting Wood Floor
What I've done in this situation: if the cut is near the baseboard, OH
SO GENTLY pry the baseboard up and loose. Then use a variable speed jig at the 2nd lowest speed with a 0-clearance blade, almost score the floor surface by rotating the jig into the floor. The ending of the cuts will be hidden by the baseboard (channel out the hidden edge if necessary). Use a straightedge or mitre hand saw to complete the cuts. Good luck |

Cutting Wood Floor
Unfortunately I'm cutting up the door jamb, so I can't pry that out,
hahahaha. At least the plan wasn't to also replace the door. Bernie wrote in message oups.com...
