Choosing Undercut Saws, Door Jamb Saws and Toe-Kick Saws
Undercut saws help trim door jambs, casing and other accessible finish materials so flooring can fit beneath them. Toe-kick saws are designed for particular close-to-cabinet cutting tasks. Compare Crain and Roberts saws, blade compatibility and cutting-clearance requirements before choosing a tool.
Types of Undercut and Toe-Kick Saws
- Door Jamb and Undercut Saws: Used to make controlled clearance cuts at door jambs, casing and trim. Confirm the cutting height range and materials supported by the saw.
- Toe-Kick Saws: Designed for certain cuts close to cabinets and other restricted spaces. Use only as specified by the manufacturer.
- Replacement Blades: Carbide-tipped and specialty blades are not interchangeable across every model. Match the exact Crain or Roberts saw and intended cutting material.
What to Check Before Buying
- Cutting Height and Clearance: Match the saw's adjustment range and reach to the flooring thickness and location of the cut.
- Blade Fit and Material: Check manufacturer part numbers, blade diameter, arbor and approved material applications.
- Jobsite Safety: Inspect the work area for concealed utilities and follow the saw manufacturer's guard, operating and protective-equipment instructions.
Pro Tip: Use a sample piece of flooring as a height reference when setting an undercut saw, accounting for the full installed assembly. Verify clearance before cutting the finished jamb.
Frequently Asked Questions About Undercut Saws
What is an undercut saw used for?
An undercut saw trims suitable door jambs, casing or other finish materials so flooring can extend beneath them. Confirm the saw and blade are rated for the material.
Is a toe-kick saw the same as a jamb saw?
No. Although both work in restricted spaces, toe-kick and jamb saws are designed for different cutting positions and applications. Follow each model's instructions.
Will any undercut saw blade fit my Crain saw?
No. Replacement blade fit depends on the saw model, blade dimensions, arbor and intended material. Verify the manufacturer's part number before ordering.
