But if you cut it back so it finishes behind the plinth it won't be seen.  Just mark the cut level with the bottom of the doors.

Be you have to make 2 cuts.  The vertical cut, yes, hidden behind the plinth.  But the horizontal cut in line with the top of the kick board, you have to do perfectly without chipping the board finish on either side, and then you need to protect the raw cut edge of the board somehow.

Apparently the trick to cut MFC without chipping is to do a very shallow cut with your circular saw using a blade with lots of teeth, then increase to full depth.  You need to clamp a fence to the panel.  The vertical cut can be done with a pocket squirrel.

I just googled that and there were lots of cute pictures. Nothing that would make a clean vertical cut without lots of training though.

I just use it to describe any carpentry work that looks like it has been randomly chewed away.
