Yes, but only on the joints that butt a wall or cabinet.
Joints where one piece of floor butts another must have the tongue and groove left on them.

You can use it for the cuts that butt up to a wall, but the ends that butt one another should have the tongue and groove on them.

How do you cut laminate flooring?

The best way to cut laminate flooring is with either a power mitre saw, or a table saw. Depending on which way you are cutting it. To cut the length, use a power mitre saw, with a 40 tooth+ blade, keeping the "good" or "top" side up. If it's a 3" plank, you can use a 7 1/4" saw, a 5" a 10" saw, and anything bigger you should use a 12" saw. It's dangerous to make a parial cut, then turn the piece around to finish the cut. To "rip" the plank (cut along the length of the plank to make it "skinnier") you'll need to use a table saw, with a guide, and of course the blade guard. THE USE OF POWER SAWS CAN BE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS, BE CAREFUL, READ THE INSTRUCTIONS, ALWAYS WEAR EYE PROTECTION, ALWAYS KEEP YOUR FINGERS AWAY FROM THE BLADE, AND DO NOT RUSH YOUR CUT. IF YOU ARE A NOVICE, NOT FAMILIAR WITH THESE TOOLS, I'D RECOMMEND HIRING A PROFESSIONAL LICENSED FLOORING CONTRACTOR. THE PRICE YOU'D PAY A PRO IS A LOT LESS THAN LOSING A FINGER, OR FINGERS, OR AN EYE, ETC.


How do you saw timber?

First, there are several types of saw that you can use to cut timber. There is the hand saw, tenon saw, and the miter saw. You must first know what type of saw you can use to easily saw a timber. The oak timber, for example, is a hardwood and would require lots of force to be able to saw it. But generally, knowledge and experience are both essential in order to do it right and safe. You must be able to hold the timber securely and use safety gear before cutting to avoid accidents.
