Flush Cut Door Jambs
Cutting flooring around door jambs is way too hard. Instead, place a scrap piece of the new flooring material next to the jamb and use it as a guide for an undercut saw. You’ll have the perfect pocket to slide flooring materials underneath so you won’t need to make intricate cuts around the jamb trim. A japanese pull saw or oscillating multi-tool works best for this type of flush cutting
