Bosch PST 700E 500W + TE118A blade.
I used mine at the weekend to cut out a blank for a Brooklands 'silencer' from 20 SWG steel sheet, no problem at all, though you do want to keep it pressed flat against a properly supported workpiece, don't use it like a knife. You can cut with fair accuracy and without distorting the sheet, just needs a bit of de-burring. Much like a hacksaw, don't expect to cut a tight corner radius with it. And do please try it out on some scrap before attacking your floor!!
I was thinking of the jigsaw more for 'relieving' the floor panel, if you can get access, though I'm sure it will rough out a cover in either material.
