Circular Saws with Adjustable Depth
Options

Hi all,
Does anyone have any recommendations for a circular saw which allows the depth of the cut to be adjusted? I need to take up a large section of flooring and the easiest way will be to cut through them at the mid point over one of the supporting beams. They are 19mm floor boards, so I only want to cut to a depth of 19-20 mm. The builder of the house has not made the task at all easy as the boards are not laid in a uniform manner and they have nailed them down with nails diagonally through the tongue and groove. I've done a search on the web and not had a lot of joy, so if anyone can help, it would be most appreciated.

all circular saws are adjustable
take a look at a screwfixHi, we’ve had to remove your signature. If you’re not sure why please read the forum rules or email the forum team if you’re still unsure0 -
Depends on the lay out and what you want to do but
- long straight cuts can be unattractive and might even show through carpets
- If you are planning on cutting along a joist then you are likely to hit nails so maybe think about one of the rage tools which happily cut nails as well as wood
- If you can get one board up then you can punch the rest of the tongue nails through the boards and they’ll come up relatively easy and go back down like original
