Cut parquet around the walls

[Lars48]

Hello
The gap between the click flooring and the walls has shrunk in several places, and I need to trim 1 cm from the walls on site.
What is the best tool to use for this purpose?
I've considered a small circular saw as you can see in the link below. But I have no experience with it, and it's uncertain if I can adjust it to cut exactly 1 cm from the walls. It looks in the film like it needs more space on the sides. Any suggestions?
I've already tried a regular multi-tool, but it takes too long to cut the floor. It also goes through many saw blades. So to say, it's not practical.

I have one of those saws exactly the same but with the brand Ferm.
I just took a look and you can get as close as 2cm from the wall.
However, it will probably be quite difficult to saw like that because the start button ends up against the wall.

A decent multicutter solves it.

But TS already dismissed that.

I have already tried a regular multi-tool, but it takes too long to cut the floor. It also consumes a lot of saw blades. So to speak, it's not practical.

I tend to agree with TS. A few centimeters, sure, but if we're talking longer distances, it seems quite tedious. Or do you have tips on "special blades" that make it manageable for longer cuts?

I don't know, I bought myself a slightly too expensive saw with good blades and since then I've had no problem cutting many meters in a very short time.

had no problem covering many meters in a very short time.

Does it matter if it's solid wood or "hard plastic/laminate" in the click flooring? Then really good blades are probably a key to success.

The floor is laminate, a robust version. It was hardly possible to drill holes in it with regular metal drills. I had to use a masonry drill. If it were wood, it would have worked with a multitool.

But I insist with the stubbornness of a fool that the right multi-saw and the right blade will solve it! Talk to a professional seller, not someone at Bauhaus or similar.

The alternative might be a good plunge saw, they can get really close to obstacles, but 10mm is very close.

Is the floor newly installed?
Or is it simply that the floor is moving and using the previously measured 10mm in the gap?

I have already tried a regular multi-tool but it takes far too long to cut the floor. It also goes through many saw blades. So to speak it's not practical.

Rent a Festool plunge saw TS55 with a 48T blade for the purpose.
With that saw, you'll get 11-12mm away from the wall, which is just perfect.

Is the floor newly laid?
Or is it simply that the floor is moving and using up the previously measured 10mm gap?

I agree, it's in September (Stockholm area) when wooden floors are at their largest, so there doesn't need to be any mm gaps along the walls. When the heating has dried out the floor for a few weeks, it starts to shrink.

What is stopping someone from clicking a row loose and cutting it with a regular saw? /LOB

 

[mexitegel]

High risk that some not will break.

Festool's TS55 goes 12mm from the wall

The floor was laid last year. Yes, you could say it is newly laid. I remember insisting to the carpenter that it should be exactly 10mm. A couple of times, I saw him going with 5mm but corrected it after being told. Now I don't know if the floor has shifted or the carpenter used 5mm. Anyway, it fits tightly and creaks here and there. Not in winter, but during August and September when it's moistest. The floor expands due to moisture and heat.
