Tell your clients that you charge more for cuts to the wall, then tell them why. You can find small 2" diamond blades on line that will bring the cut close enough to cover with quarter round. Use a piece of thin sheet metal to protect the kick board from kerf marks from the 4" grinder with the small blade. gene ec-Indy
