Them used to be called dowel saws. (So you can cut a dowel off flush with a surface.) The job is OK with a flexible panel saw, and I've seen it done with a biscuit jointer.

Driven all over the flipping place today and nobodys even heard of this 'undertcut saw'. 'dowl thingy-dingy' or a 'whatsitthatgoesroundawidget'

I saw in a store a 19 squid angle grinder !!!

Could I not use an angle grinder to cut into skirting boards and door frames

only if you have a fire extinguisher to hand.

no you couldnt! Can use a biscuit cutter. The saw you are after is called a pull saw or a dowel saw. They definetly sell them in homebase about 14 quid, theyre styled on japanese pull saws

I tend to just use my usual stanley jetcut, bit of scrap laminate to get the height, one hand to hold end of blade flat, other working the handle.

Inly use an anglegrinder if you have got an arbortech blabe and like the look of breakout!!!
