My son has just moved into his first (1930s) house and wants to lay laminate flooring in some rooms. He doesn't want to use a bead around the edge, prefering to lay the laminate under the skirting. Rather than try and remove the skirting (and probably wreck most of it in the process) he's wondering if there's some sort of power saw that can be used to just cut 10-15mm of the bottom - a bit like a circular saw, but without anything protruding far from the right hand edge. Obviously the depth would have to be carefully set to avoid any power cables behind the skirting, (which is why I think a jigsaw won't be suitable) and he may have to use a knife/chisel to get right into the corners. Any ideas on this please? David
