Where to find a door jam(b) saw?

Bosch do one, fairly new on the market, can't remember its name. You asked at Homebase and expected them to know? no chance.

Have a look at the Axminster website Stuart

Several possible approaches.

Hire one of these:

Buy a Fein Multimaster (or the cheaper Bosch version).

They are expensive. I did my hall with 5x doorways with a tenon saw.

Thanks Andy, Isn't it very awkward to get a tenon saw flat and horizontal? I envisioned a tool (like a tenon saw) but with an offset handle so the blade would lie flat on the tile/board. Also a blade with no raised back edge. Sort of like a plasterers tool but with a saw/serrated edge!! Ger.

Stuart, brilliant. Looks like the keyword is "flushcut" !! I had tried 'jam', jamb', and undercut' without luck. The Axminster site has the answer. Seberal options. Many thanks Ger.

Looks like the Axminster website has the answer for me. Thanks again Stuart. Ger

Bosch do the pmf 180, which is a cheaper version of the Fein. Lots of threads on here about it. Argos stock it, as do many other places. Got mine from Lawson-HIS.co.uk - cheapest I could find and cheap blades too. Screwfix have it for =A330 more than other places - even more than the RRP!

I've just tried it on the bottom of a binding door, and it works - clean and straight cut, but it took a long time. I think the supplied semi-circular blade is too fine

For door frame and architrave, all you really need is a normal 20" hand saw with fine teeth. This will be flexible enough to bend against the floor to cut. Use a scrap piece of flooring first to do the cut against.

Thanks for that DG. I think I have the answer at the Axminster site (see other responses) Thank you Ger.

I used this method last wqeek. My bizzy cutter blade is 8mm from the foot plate. Had to shim it up the raise it high enough for my new flooring. Couldn't be easier.

Electric door trimming saws are v expensive. Try a Jananese style pull saw like this

Thanks Dave, just the job. Ger.
