KORR KMAP001 9 inch Laminate Flooring and Siding Cutter with Heavy Duty Fixed Aluminum Fence and Built-in Precision Angled Miter Settings with BONUS Honing Stone

This thing is great for cutting and trimming vinyl planks. There are lots of ways to cut vinyl plank flooring since it isn't super tough material. Each have their pros and cons. I have a cordless Ryobi flooring saw that also works great. The con with the Ryobi is the dust and noise. It makes a lot of debris when cutting so you have to cut in a different area than you're laying plank. So there's lots of getting up and down to cut unless you have a helper to do all the cutting. You can cut LVP with a utility knife too, but the cuts aren't clean breaks and you don't have enough leverage to snap if you just need to trim a little off the end/edge of a board. This guillotine machine makes very nice clean cuts with a minimum amount of physical force due to the leverage. I set the machine on the floor at the end of a row and cut the boards on the floor as needed; I don't have to get up to cut which is a huge time saver. I was super bummed when I first got this machine because the holes in the I beam of the Guillotine did not line up with the screws in the aluminum base support piece; it couldn't be assembled. No doubt a manufacturing defect or out of tolerance machining. I returned that unit to Amazon for a replacement. The replacement came a few days later and its perfect this time. I love this machine, it almost makes laying plank fun....almost.

Easier to use than a mitre saw ! Cut 12mm x 6” wide Aquaguard performance flooring with ease. Well built and very stable once you figure out how to use it. My 13 yr old son and 16 yr old daughter were able to use it with ease after sliding a 2’ metal pipe over the handle for added leverage and the clean up was a breeze compared to the saw which we almost needed a respirator because of the fine powder like dust particles, with this we just periodically swept and picked up the scrap pieces and dropped it in a 5 gal bucket. Did 2 bedrooms and a bathroom and sharpened it once.

I did our first bedroom with a chop saw,, did the other three bedrooms with this product!!! Wow I wish I would have bought this for all the floors, saved so much time cutting in the room and no mess, our laminate floor was 12mm thick and this cut it with ease

I will be using this on a flooring project this coming weekend and will update my review then. Out of the box, assembly instructions were clear and it looks like a sturdy tool that should be up to the task. The item description on Amazon said honing stone included - there was not one included, and the owners manual has a section on honing the blade and says "(honing stone not included)". Not only is there no honing stone, but no specs on what kind of honing stone to use. That takes one star away off the top. Once I get into my project, I'll provide updates on actual performance.Update, started a flooring project today and this tool saved a lot of time cutting rigid core vinyl plank flooring, compared to the score and snap method I've used in the past. It also cuts much smaller sections of flooring than possible with score and snap. I've got multiple flooring projects around the house coming up, and I'm glad I have this tool. I am still disappointed that I didn't receive the "bonus honing stone".

We have replaced 3 different floors now with the engineered hardwood. Everytime, we would have to use a saw to cut them. 1. That was the biggest time suck, when replacing a floor, was when you would have to run outside to cut a piece of wood every time. 2. That chews through saw blades so quickly as well. This product changed everything. It cuts down on time so much, by not having to run outside and use the saw, you can use it inside your room. This cut through perfectly, and cause pretty minimal damage to the flooring as well. We are so happy we decided to use this!

We used this to install laminate locking flooring and it worked great!!!

Not good

I bought this for use in installing roughly 400 square feet of Lifeproof LVP in our home. It was easy to set up and did a great job at slicing through the planks with little to no chipping. The attached photo is of one of the last pieces cut and fully representative of the quality throughout the job. Cutting the planks required almost no effort. Overall, well worth the investment IMO.
