This puppy ain't cheap but it is worth the price. Laying ceramic tile by making many cuts and nibbling away till a tile fits properly around a door casing is a pain and very time consuming. 5 minutes of time with this saw (1 minute to get it out of the truck, 3 to get it out of the case and set up, 1/2 minute (i'm old) to get down on my knees and another 1/2 minute to make the cut) slide the tile under the jamb and casing for the perfect no grouting fit. WOW !!!
br /If the door binds on the tile, or anyother type floor, adjust the undercut saw accordingly and trim the door while in place! Your Done!!!

It worked for me

I purchased this tool to cut vertical cedar siding at the top (under the overhangs) to receive aluminum soffit panels. The saw worked well for the majority of the cuts, and I used a Fein Multimaster to get what I couldn't with the Crain saw. I rated this item with 3 stars because it worked fine and I'd use it again for the same task or other tasks (perhaps cutting jambs like it was designed for). I rated it with 3 stars because it has a lot of room for improvement, chief among the problem areas is its cumbersome depth adjustment. I would say this is a utilitarian saw at best. This saw could benefit greatly from some thorough engineering effort to improve its adjustment/guard systems and make it much easier to use.
