Need to trim down a bit of height from some end boards. What's the cleanest way to do this? I have some pull saws, though the blades need replacing to get the best results. Ican get a very clean line but rarely get a straight one on longer distances. I have a dewalt circular saw with a ripping blade I use for quickly chopping through thicker bits but again, a straight line over a long distance seems ambitious for my abilities.
In the near future I'll also need to scribe some other boards against a wonky wall.
What are my options:
1.
Get a finer blade for the circular saw like this:

or this:

and a guide rail like this:

The floor I'm scribing to is pretty flat - with 5mm tolerance I'd say. The flooring I'm going to put down around is a layer of underlay, then 7mm cork so would cover up any imperfections at the bottom.
