VIDEO TRANSCRIPT
Jodi Marks: You know, I love installing laminate flooring, because it’s actually a very easy project. I think the hardest part about it is making your cuts, because you’ve got to go outside, where you’ve either set up your table saw and your miter saw, and then bring everything back in. Because it’s time consuming when you do that. But wouldn’t it be great if you had one saw that can make all of those cuts, and you could keep it in the same room you’re working in all at the same time?
Well, Ryobi has come out with a great five-inch laminate saw, and it’s perfect for doing everything you need when you’re putting down laminate flooring. Now, I’ve got a piece right here, so let me show you how it works.
It’s got a fence that I can just slide and pop into place. And then once I get it where I want it, I then lock down the blade here. And using the fence as my guide, I can push my plank lengthwise along the blade and it will make my rip. Then, if I need to make a crosscut, all I would have to do is relocate the fence to this side.
Once that gets locked into place, I then release the blade, and then what I could do is slide my plank underneath here. It actually slides like a radial arm saw, so it doesn’t matter the width of plank that I use. But I simply push the blade crossways across it and I can get my crosscut every time. And with this advanced dust collection system that it incorporates, you will not pick up a lot of dust. It’ll actually collect twice as much dust in here.
So, you can set this up in the same room you’re working in, so you can get your cuts perfect every time. You don’t have to waste your time going outside. And you’ll get your laminate floor down in no time.
Please give me the model # for the Ryobi Portable Flooring Saw as shown in your video. Trying to locate.
Thank you.
Where can I buy or see one of these saws. More information, please
Franks, Ryobi tools are usually sold at The Home Depot. However, I do not see this particular saw listed on either of their sites anymore. I’d suggest contacting Ryobi directly or reaching out to them on social media. https://www.ryobitools.com/power-tools/support/contact
Because we have laminate wood floors next to our bathroom, we wanted to keep the heights between the two floors as similar as possible. We chose to install 1/4″ backer board to add as little height as possible.
I am trying to find a store in Detroit Michigan that sells the Ryobi 5″ floor saw. I have called three stores and even given them the SKU number and they don’t show anything
I install for a living….u could not bring this in someones living room and install. Ryobi makes great tools though.
