Hello everyone!
I'm working on my bathroom renovation and have a small problem to solve.
I've torn out the walls and floor as well as the floor joists.
The bathroom is on the upper floor and the intermediate floor is concrete.
I plan to replace the floor joists and chipboard by pouring to the correct level with EPS Cement instead.
Now to the question itself;
Along the outer wall, half of the sill is "exposed," meaning it is very wide, so that the outer wall rests on half the sill, and the other half previously had the chipboard on it.
Now that I'm going to pour with EPS, I want to cut away the part of the sill that is no longer used, but what tool should I use to cut it along the wall?
A jigsaw, circular saw, etc., won't reach to cut that close to the wall...
Should I use a handsaw, or is this a perfect opportunity to purchase a new machine?
Best regards, Kim

I have now read a bit about multimaster and Bosch's equivalent multi.
Unfortunately, Bosch doesn't handle saw depth of 45mm, only manages 30 (?), unlike Fein which handles 60.
But after reading the post in the tools and machines forum about multimaster, it just seems silly to buy Fein when Bosch is so much cheaper

I have of course also considered working "by hand", but it's more fun with machines
Additionally, you probably get a nicer cut with machine processing?

I also usually combine Fein with regular saw/chisel etc. However, it sounds like too massive a job for Fein MM (and even more so for the Bosch copy) to saw a 45 mm sill lengthwise... It would be faster to use a chisel and hammer. Use the Bosch to make several cuts at an angle to the wood fibers every 100 mm, then the chisel to "pick" these pieces.

I'm still considering the tiger.... Very competent machine. and reasonably cheap too.
