Starting from the laminate flooring cut different types of flooring more like luxury vinyl tile or plank engineered wood and another flooring with only this high quality and affordable laminate woodcutter.

Cutting luxury vinyl actually involves more breaking than cutting. Luxury vinyl plank or lvp flooring is certainly the easiest flooring material to cut and may even be the easiest of all building materials to cut. Place the plank on a surface you won t mind cutting on such as the subfloor or a piece of waste flooring with the bottom side up. Lay your base plate against the edge of your vinyl plank near the area that you intend to cut.

Measure and mark the plank on the waste side of the cut line. All it takes is a sharp utility knife and for most cuts a straightedge. They are made on planks as you complete a row and as you cut planks to stagger vinyl plank flooring. You use the utility knife to score the hard wear layer on the top surface of the flooring then you simply.

For cutting holes also use a fine toothed blade in hole saw form with the diameter needed for installation. Get the vinyl planks under the doorjambs as this provides an even fit of your flooring. You can cut and nail the trim to the wall. If you cannot get under the doorjambs you can use an electric handsaw to cut a small groove.

Use a pull bar or a tapping block if the fit is hard to reach. Line the jigsaw blade up with your guiding line. These cuts make the plank shorter.
