A loose poll...
I've got a pile of door jambs to cut during a large flooring
installation. I typically hand cut or use a biscuit joiner to
undercut my door jambs. Which would YOU choose:
A Bosch 1640 power flush cut saw.
A Crain door jamb saw (looks like a router)
Something else...
There's a lot of work here, I can easily spring three bills for a
tool...
Thanks!
Barry

What was I thinking! Lately my neighbor and I have been installing a
number of laminate floors. I should have recommended that Barry
purchase the jamb saw and then sell it when he's finished with the
project... to me... cheap. ;-)

The Fein also does a whack of other jobs...and 'flush' is
'flush'..with a 1/2 mm gap.
It is not as agressive as the rotary jobs, so it will take a little
longer.
The specialy flush saws are cool...but very limited in use thereafter..

I have the Fein and it works great. Their vac is great too. I have 2
of those, one for each floor. Love 'em. Donna

Great idea, but it's going to be difficult to do them all in a timely
fashion. It's a multi-room remodel. I could remove the carpet around
all of the doors, but there's a woman involved, so "environmental
impact" needs to be reasonably minimized. <G>
As much as I hate big box stores, my local HD does have a very good
tool rental. If I can't rent it, I usually try to buy specialty stuff
used and kick it off to eBay later.

Can you use the 'Domino'? Ah, never mind. ;)

Yeah, a little slower than a dedicated tool but I bought a Multimaster kit
last year and I use it as much as any one tool.

NO! Robatoy, YOU get it straight. Since when is "NEED" the operative
word around here other than when describing a forthcoming purchase to
SWMBO?
Keep it honest. He WANTS... <g>
Rent the jamb saw and do the job.... much quicker and
cheaper than the Fein... The Fein is a great tool but
waaay too slow for a metric ass load of door jambs.
Of course, there is "always" the classic hand
jamb saw for really tight spots....

Yup! I'm not too proud to admit it! <G>
I'm going for the Multimaster, as the job also includes a new oak
staircase. The staircase is all oak, including risers and stringers,
and I get to sand and finish it. The MM will be helpful getting into
the corners.

Barry,
We just cut a bunch of jambs in our new place with our Fein Multi Master. It
does a nice clean quick job. You will find tons of other uses for it after
your flooring job is done.

Something similar to:
http://www.tools4flooring.com/crain-555-multiundercut-saw-p-279.html
The last I looked it was around $20-$30 for a four hour rental. I think
you could cut a "pile" in four hours.
