As the title goes can anyone recommend a tool that i could use to trim down a few mm off the edge of laminate that's already been laid down. The laminate is 12mm thick. I was thinking a dremel but am not sure whether it would be powerful enough.

Hello everyone. Recently bought our first home. It's a townhouse that should be completed in 5 or 6 months. The home includes two areas that are hardwood: (1) a small section at the landing of the 2nd-3rd stairs, and (2) the third floor hallway area between all the rooms. Small areas, but significant. "Included" is your typical 2 1/4" Oak hardwood slabs. Here are our options: 1. Go with included flooring with intention of future DIY upgrade: vinyl in the kitchen area & carpet throughout the 2nd floor, with the exception of the included areas above. We come back in a year or so to tear up the included hardwood, 2nd floor laminate, and 2nd floor carpet and install much nicer hardwood throughout. 2. Upgrade the entire second floor to expand the "included" hardwood noted above, 2 1/4" slabs. Area is roughly an additional 673 sqft, cost would be $5,364. 3. Upgrade the included areas + entire 2nd floor to "upgraded" hardwood, which comes out to roughly $14/sqft in the non-included areas (673 sqft). They are not using some rare Brazilian species here - it's better than the basic, but nothing otherworldly. I checked prices and they're ~$6.50/sqft for this level of hardwood at retail. I'm confident that we can do it but there are three factors at play here: (1) The builder's astronomical price for the "upgraded" flooring (2) I hesitate to tear up existing hardwood in a new home - seems wasteful (3) We'd prefer wider slabs than the 2 1/4"... Any input is welcome - we've been debating for weeks.
