Cutting Armstrong Armalock laminate flooring after installation

9 years ago

We are redoing our our kitchen cabinets. We have a tall pantry about 18" wide that sits ontop of the existing laminate floor. We want to replace this pantry with a built in one that will sit on the sub floor (just like the rest of the cabinets do). How can we cut the laminate floor under this pantry?

Best to use a Oscillating Tool such as a Rockwell SoniCrafter.
I have owned a Rockwell oscillating Tool for years and find it to be one of the handiest tools I own. I have used it for everything from laminate to oak to grout removal. For both cutting and sanding.

Thanks Hippy - Looks like the Rockwell Sonicrafter will work for us. It looks like a great tool!

Why wouldn't you simply cut the cabinet base?

Trebruchet In the future we will probable replace the laminate floor and leave all the cabinets in place sitting on the subfloor. Right now the cabinet/pantry only sits on the laminate floor and is not like the rest of the cabinetry.
