Very nice - I'll be doing this early next year and wasn't looking forward to the noise and mess (we live in a terraced area, direct neighbours) - plus - and I kid you not - we've had 20 packs of laminate flooring in storage for over 5 years heh. As for rough cutting, that is to be expected by such a mechanism.
If you're going to be a professional laminate installer, use professional equipment. Don't use junk like this. Table saw for ripping and Miter saw for chopping. If your going to cut little Notch, just use a Multi-Max. Pro's should have these equipments! Sawdust all over the place then you should have brought a Wet-Vac and Broom!
While the table saw is the traditional way to cut laminate, the FloorBoar requires no electricity and creates no dust making it a better indoor alternative.
@qepcoinc This floor boar thing also makes TERRIBLE cuts! It doesn't really cut actually, it "chews". I've been trying to use one today and on every 3-4 cuts I do it chips some of the laminate layer off the board far enough that many of the boards became unusable .. others fortunately I can reuse when I need smaller pieces.
Although the cut is not as smooth as a typical table saw cut, it is ideal for a floating floor installation. When installed properly, all Floor Boar cuts will be placed against the wall and covered by the decorative molding (baseboard or quarter round) used to hide the necessary expansion gap along the floor perimeter.
And I don't know about you but when I used mine I about got repetitive motion syndrome in my arm from "ratchet, ratchet, ratchet!!!" And it TOTALLY made a mess (I agree) There's plenty of other shears out there that will cut cleaner and save you HUGE time not having to hike your product outside to your saw and back and forth. I rented one at Depot called a magnum shear and it was SOOOO much better!. Only thing was corners but the boar didn't go a good enough job anyway. Junk!
