Hi
I havnt got a circular saw but do have a electric planer. I need to remove around 10mm of the top and bottom of a timber door. I used the electric planer before and its very violent and creates lots of rough edges and splits the wood very easy (was roughly cutting down the old doors when new carpets went it) it was the cheapest one homebase had. Problem is I live in a small flat and there is no where inside really to use something that throws lots of saw dust everywhere.
Questions are, I have a new fine toothed hand saw, could this be used to trim the doors?
Also are there any metal braces/screws in a timber door? when i trimmed the hollow panel doors I hit a metal brace only after taking off a few mm!
Thanks
