cutting channel along base of wall--tool suggestion?

I have to cut a 12" long channel about 1/4" wide along the base of my wall. The base board has been pulled and I am cutting through laminate flooring. I can do it with a small hand saw but I was wondering if there is a cutting wheel I can put on my drill, sort of like a giant dremel tool, or some other tool just for this job.

I guess an undercut saw would work, but I don't own one. Any other cheap, powered solutions that won't result in finger loss?

Thanks,

C.

Don't know if a jamb saw would work. Sometimes they can be rented at larger hardware stores.

Don't know if he can get close enough to the wall. If all else fails and since it's only 12" length: I had to cut 1/8" or so off of two door jambs when laying tile. So I got myself one of those flat blade hand saws. Not sure what they are called, in Europe they were called veneer saw. Home Depot had one for around $10 where the handle could be flipped over so you could saw left-bound and right-bound. The downside of that flip handle is that it wobbles a bit. So whenever I can get away with one direction only I use the old fixed handle version from my grandpa.

there would be less to cut. The jagged edge will be covered by baseboards. Thanks.

Great. Time for a nice glass of Pale Ale I guess ;-)
