Quote:We have just started laying a laminate floor and are experiencing a few teething problems and consequently have chipped a few of the boards at the ends.
assuming you are useing a jig saw your cutting from left to right just flip the boards end over end butt the board against the wall and depending on the sort of board clearence required you you just transfer the edge of the board onto the back of the board on top [plus or minus a few mm dependant on clearence reguired square the mark on the top cut from the back no chipping
if there is a slight angle remember you either have to cut from the front or reverse the angle on the back
if your chipped board are bad and you dont think you can easily cover them with the edging
its worth concidering replacing them now whilst its un finnished working on the principle the joints either gradualy slope left or right you just go back or forward to a slightly smaller chipped board replacing it with a slightly longer ex chipped board[cut down]
i use 101d or 101b blades replacing frequently they blunt quite quickly probably after 5m of cuts [experiance will tell]
good luck
