I need to cut a section of baseboard without removing the baseboard from the wall. Will this do the job? Thanks!

yes, just have to be careful. It has been quite handy. I have successfully cut molding around a window. I also trimmed door molding to open up for a new floor board. Just fine. the tiny vibrations are intense, but not too violant like a recip saw!! With a steady hand, it is quite possible. I would not use thie for large jobs.

More than likely. I've been in the trade for over 30 years and this is BY FAR the best time saver, like in your case, not having to remove the whole baseboard. I have mine for over a year and is not a Mickey Mouse tool, even though is (carefully) made in China. It is sturdy for professional usage.

Either this or an air nailer would work. If you are doing fine finish work I would suggest an air driven brad or pin nailer. This works very well for trim/baseboard work and you don't have a cord or hose to deal with. I do prefer my pin nailer for fine finish work though.

I don't see why you couldn't cut it. You'll need a strong, sharp knife of some sort. And to help prevent it from lifting at the corners I would recommend rounding the corners of your cut.

In my opinion, this would not be heavy duty enough to cut thin wood. Of course, I only use this cutter on fabric. It would need to be tested.

Oh yeah absolutely, I used it to cut out pieces of plaster wall and ended up with nice clean lines (LOTS of dust, so you need ventilation and mask). I assume the tile "may" give you a bit more resistance? (depending on the type of tile, maybe not), but also probably less dust. I did the plaster wall dry, but could have used the water attachment if I wasn't too concerned about getting the surrounding area wet. If water is an issue you can probably use it dry like I did if you're not too worried about the blade wearing out quickly, or else use the water on a very low flow. I've used this to cut plaster (dry) and granite (wet), in both cases it cut like butter. Very pleased with this saw.

yes it will, if you cut the boards twice. I use this saw to cut 5/4" by 6" decking into thinner planks for some trim things on jobsites. You will have to go slow and make sure you keep the material straight and plumb. Only other tools I own that i could make a cut like that with are band saw (stuck at a shop) or planer (take forever and make too much dust). Maybe not what this saw was intended for but it works great. Get a sharp good blade and you it will work no problem.

I have found the straight edge to be a great tool when it is secure to the wood being cut. However, the straight edge needs some support or you are trying to balace the additional length of the straight edge during your cut. If your work surface is sufficient, in my experience this is not a problem. Overall, the instrument is light weight and very useful for its intended purpose.

Doesn't have a depth guide and I think cutting drywall if you're doing it inside would be pretty messy what with all the dust. If you just need to make a few plunge cuts try a rotozip tool with a bit that looks kind of like a drill bit. That has a depth guide and does a good job with drywall plunge cuts.

Without having cut one but looking at the veneer job, I would guess not unless you can hide the cut end and do not splinter the veneer. also you would have to be careful not to cut into the magnets inside. The hangers are very nicely finished and it would be a shame to cut something so expensive. And they do work good, but my wife would not let me hang up the knives on the kitchen wall like I was planning - she said it looked like a kitchen from Texas chain saw massacre.

Sort of. I used it to cut out the slot for the door knob's latch plate, opposite of hinge. It wasnt very successful on the cardboard-like material that it was made of. No clean edges and difficult to control. I had to clean it up with a chisel. It may work better on a real wood door, but since you dont want to mess that up, you should just do it right.

I expect it depends on the material being cut. The plywood and thin material I have used, it splinters. It cuts a straight line but does not cut as I expected it to do as the ad depicted.

The "score and snap method" is by far the best way to cut drywall. If you are cutting curves, Rotozip makes shearing bits (look like wide-spiral drill bits). This is actually the main use for thee Rotozip tool. I imagine using cutting discs as being difficult. If you are attempting to trim 2 inches off the bottom of already-hung drywall then go with the score and snap method. I dont think you will be satisfied with cutting wheels. Good luck!

very easy to remove. I peeled off the top "layer" then used a steamer on the bottom layer. No damage to wall.

Yes it can. They do not offer much instruction for the procedure but it was a rather straight forward task if you are comfortable with carpentry.Watch for electrical wires when cutting into the wall and remember that you will still have to plug the unit into a wall outlet when the job is complete.

Hello Diane,Yes, this tool would be great for the job you described. It even comes with a tile cutting blade. Hope that helps!

This will not lend it self to being cut. check Container Store. they are great if they fit your space however.
