I went to that link to buy it but it's $200!

ok. I will go see what i can see at Harbor Freight this weekend... I am on a budget but I must have that tool. The last time I had to cut baseboard I ended up using a putty knife and pounding on it with a hammer until it split. (mdf baseboard)

Oh my - that was a fantastic video because he had a tool he called an "oscillating saw" - now I must get one of those ASAP
