Norske Tools NMAP004 13 inch Laminate Flooring & Siding Cutter with Sliding Extension Table with Bonus Floor Installation Kit Great Value

It went together well. plan to use it installing Modin 9" x 0.28" SPC. I heard this may be the hardest SPC to cut. It worked pretty well on a test cut., but took more force to cut than in the videos where they only show LVT cuts. May want ear protection as it makes a very loud bang when the board is split. It did make a perfect cut, though I had to pull the 2 pieces apart since the blade didn't touch the attached rubber underlay . My concern is that although the manufacturer recommends honing the blade after every 40 cuts, a sharpening stone is not included (like it is for some other similar products like the EB). And if I purchase a stone separately from amzn, it will add another 20-30 to the expense of this purchase.Will try to f/u after project is complete or something unexpected happens.Update: Flooring is in. GREAT PRODUCT! I made 40-50 cuts, all straight 90 degrees with no problem. All cuts were perfect. Much faster, cleaner and less effort than a knife or saw. (Though I did use a circular saw for rips and a jig for u-cuts.)I wasn't expecting it to hold up to stone-poly composite type of "LVT". I would buy again for this job, and highly recommend.

Just a heads up, I ordered the Extended version with accessory kit and recieved the Standard cutting tool instead (with no accesories). When I started the return process, I explained the issue and guess what... They sent me the wrong version a second time. So this review is actually about the Standard edition, not the Extended since I have no experience with that version.This tool probably cut the installation time in half for a flooring job. No need to take planks outside to cut them unless they were long way cuts or odd cuts. So almost no saw dust. You can perform the cuts in the bedroom your flooring so it speeds things up. My planks have underlayment foam (2mm) under it which this also cut through. While it doesn't perfectly cut through the Mohawk 10mm laminate flooring material I bought from Costco, the upper most visible part of the plank is a nice straight cut, which gets sloppier and more ragged toward the bottom of the cut. Since in most cases your cut edges are hidden under baseboard trim it's not a big deal at all. Anyone complaining about this is probably installing their flooring wrong anyway. My 16 year old daughter could not perform a cut on her own, so you do have to use a decent amount of force to perform the cut. I'm over 200lbs so my weight was sufficient to cut 10mm plank + 2mm foam. But you light weights out there might want to consider this. Also, before I started, I adjusted the blade height per the instructions. This was fairly easy to do. Just unscrew two screws on the footing side that needs adjustment, and rotate the round footing piece clockwise or counter-clockwise to lower or raise the blade on that side with the provided hex tool. Once you have the blade height set perfectly on both sides reinsert the two screws in the footing and tighten. Norske's instruction booklet says it doesn't need adjustment from the factory, but mine did need adjustment to be even height. I found the blade was square with the guide, so not adjustments needed there, although the version I received didn't look like there was a way to adjust that anyhow. Since the construction is plastic and aluminum I recommend using hand tools to not strip any parts for assembly. For the room I floored, I probably did over 60 cuts and it performed well. I imagine it could handle hundreds of cuts more with no problem. Norske's instructions say you can hone the blade for additional use. Anyhow, two thumbs up! I would recommend this product.

I can't help it, I'm just the kind of person who has to have my own tools, even though I may only ever use it once. Having the tool actually makes me more likely to use it again (at least that's what I tell myself). This is a great tool for engineered hardwood. It made the job very easy and fast. It's a big cutter with a long handle...and the flooring was no match for it. Makes an unexpectedly loud noise when cutting the boards, but the cut itself is smooth and didn't require any further effort or sanding/filing cut edges.I did this 8 x 10 room in just about 8 hours (first timer) using Bruce engineered hardwood and cork underlayment.So yeah, I could have rented one from HoDepo, but now I have the tool and the days are numbered for that carpet in the bedroom...

Never install LVP using a miter saw again!. It assembled simply and works excellent. The only drawback I had was that the blade dulled sooner than I would have liked. I installed 1000 SF and it was noticeable that the blade was dulling by @ 800 SF. Order an extra blade above that to avoid that problem. Otherwise it is a solid, well built unit and makes installing so much easier than running back and forth to the saw. You have it right there in your work space to cut and go. You’ll only need a saw for rip cuts.

Time saving product. Value for money.

This cutter is easy to set and use. Cuts vinyl sheeting and carpet tiles of 8mm thickness at ease as not much strength needed as blade is sharp!! Cheers!!

I choose the version with the extension table and the tools pack. Is worthy for the little price difference. The tool is easy to assemble. Please follow ALL instructions from the manual when assembling and using it. It cuts well a 12mm laminate. The cut distance marked on the side comes handy. Considering that the cut gets covered by the wall trimmings, I have no problem with the little rough surface left. All guillotine cutters will do the same but this one leaves just a little of broken width. I wish the handle would by more rigid. Overall a very good tool for the price. Make sure you hold the plank steady with your foot during the cut.

I used this to install LVP and it was really nice. It just does a quick cut, doesn't make a mess and in the middle of a square room you can get a lot of work done with it quickly. I also had some angle areas, which this helped with. Knowing that my wall was at 45 degrees, I could do quick cuts as I went.Having to do the long lengths with a jigsaw really shows how this product shines because when you use a saw of some sort it takes longer and makes a lot of mess on the floor.

Tool was very easy to assemble. We covered 900 square feet of surface with LVP (luxury vinyl plank flooring) and it was making sharp, precise and easy cuts up until the very last piece! It makes a very clean cut each time. We experimented and cut 1/8 inch and 1/4 inch off the end of a piece and it did it with absolute accuracy! I don't know how other buyers could possibly complain about this tool. We have renovated our entire basement from floor to ceiling and this is hands down my favourite tool !
