Hello group, what is the best tool to use if you have to replace a section of board, not the whole board. I need something that can cut the end of a board square, precise at a 90 degree angle. Just wondering what you guys use. I have a Milwaukee multi tool, it works pretty well but vibrates back and forth while trying to position it. I have seen some newer drimmel commercials? It seems like it would be a pretty hard cut to not hit the board next door while trying to cut off the end of board square.

Score a line with a sharp utility knife, and a square, and use a hammer and sharp chisel.

I use the Fein Multimaster.

Multi tool,it's a handheld vibrating saw.sold in a few different brands.

Sounds to me like the OP has a multi-function tool, but doesn't feel comfortable with the control of it, while performing this tedious repair. I use a multi-function tool myself. But when it comes to certain things...I pull out the trusty hammer and chisel.

I agree...should have paid more attention when I read that.

I'm curious what the reason is that you only need to remove part of a piece of the wood flooring? I would do a combination of what some of the other guys said. I'd start with a razor and get a good 90 degree notch carved out a bit into the board. Then use your multi tool inside the notch to control the movement from the vibrations.

Sorry I posted and ran. I have been so busy, Sunday was fathers day and the kids bought me an xbox 360 Seriously, I thank you for your time. I will be referring back here from time to time. I did my install, I have a few boards that are factory defects. I didn't notice them during install. One the end is fluffed up, just minor things at the moment. One has an area that is splintering a little. I have kids, and I am not the easiest on anything. So I imagine I will need to do repairs at some point. I have two extra cases of wood from my install. So I was just wondering for knowledge at the moment how you guys go about it. I think I would like the square, sharp edge razor or chisel approach to get me going and get my groove going and then come in with the multitool and finish the cut. That is a method I hadn't thought of but in my head seems to work well. Thanks a ton guys, as always you have guided me to where I need to be. Thanks
