Friend is removing his flooring but the underlayment he wanted to remove go
under the walls. So far all he could do is going around the rooms with a
circular saw leaving about 2" underlayment sticking out from all the walls.
Is there a tool that could cut the 1/4" plywood underlayment flush to the
walls all around the house without burning itself up?

A jamb saw would work- looks like a router with a circular saw blade
mounted at the bottom. Home Depot tool rental has them, not sure where
else.

Another option is an "angle grinder" with appropriate saw blade. Jamb saw
is probably the best answer.

Is there a wood cutting blade for a 4-1/2" angle grinder?

My manual jamb saw will take forever.

I kinda made that up. I'm not sure. Another "groupie" suggested a jamb saw
but I assumed he meant a power jamb saw, which would definitely work. I
know.
