A cautionary note when cutting floorboards...

Don't assume that any pipework beneath the floor is actually below the boards when our house was built, they very thoughtfully channelled one board to sit flush where the pipe was a bit high Only discovered when the circular saw that I had set at board thickness went straight through the top of a heating pipe

If you need to gain access in several places it might be worth using a router to cut circular access holes

The router cuts a stepped edge. You then drop a plastic ring into the hole and the piece you cut out sits in the ring.

That gizmo looks fantastic.. my folks new place is all chipboard flooring sheets upstairs and my Dad's bound to need to be in there sooner or later. Perfect christmas present..
