Blueman:

B I have to remove a length of floor board to access underneath. This
B will require me to cut the floor board.
B
B - What is the best way to do this neatly? i.e., how do I get a saw
B started so that it only cuts the one plank that I want to cut.
B - Will a sawz-all type tool work? (if so, how do I get it started)
B
B Note the floor board is hardwood that is about 4" wide by 1" thick

Not sure how to cut but before cutting think of what you need to do
when replacing. I would try to cut in the middle of the joist, plus
put a 2x4 nailed to the side of the joist for support of the piece you
removed.
