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

Bought for a recent house renovation, using 12mm laminate throughout the ground floor. Cuts cleanly quickly, needing only a very quick rub over with some 300 grit sandpaper to remove any excess.Made an otherwise miserable job go very quickly.

Brilliant product, made my life laying flooring so much easier.

Great purchase..made our LVP installation go much smoother than it would have been without it. Cuts cleanly, accurately, easily. Fast straight cuts with ability to do angles. Can keep it nearby so saves time. The blade has held up great after installing 650sqft so far. Comes with a sharpening stone but we haven't had to use that yet. Worth the cost!Edit: finished the remaining 600sqft and it held up perfectly. Still no need to sharpen!

First and foremost, if you install flooring without one of these devices, you are making life much harder on yourself than you need to. I have done it with a circular saw and with this tool, and this saves you so much in terms of time, steps, dust, noise, and sanity. You will still need a circular type saw for straight cutouts around obstacles and a jigsaw or band saw for curvy cuts, but you will do 90 percent of your cuts with this tool and it is pretty amazing.Now, the tool itself -Not sure why a tool that costs so much does not come fully assembled. Seems like a silly way for them to save a few bucks. That being said, the reviews here complaining about assembly are hogwash. If you follow the manual (admittedly, not the best written manual), it takes 3 minutes and works great. Use your own Phillips screwdriver.I used it for mid-grade wood laminate flooring. I did plenty of straight and angle cuts. The tool worked great, was easy and intuitive, and made this job super easy. It is fairly light and easy to carry around, yet heavy enough to stay put when you are cutting. I followed the manual and used my foot to steady the board and had no issue with sliding. I am on room 2 of a 3 room project, and so far have had zero issues with the blade or cutter. The cuts are fairly flawless, but depending on your flooring product, you may get a little top chipping around the cut of 1mm or so that won't affect your job unless you aren't using any molding or baseboard. I found that going faster with the handle improved the cuts and helped not tear the built in padding on the flooring I am using.I can't compare this to other cutters, as this is the only one I have used. I wouldn't do another flooring job without it, though. Overall, I am very satisfied.

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.

Used this on a 100sqm hybrid vinyl job and worked perfectly. Razor sharp and cut 7mm vinyl boards beautifully. No dust and perfect square cuts each time. Highly recommended if you're laying a floating floor.

Time saving product. Value for money.
