Right tool for a certain job
5 Stars
Right tool for a certain job
We build a lot of cabinets with recessed doors & drawer fronts, they have a 1/8” margin between them all. We use all the precise & safsticated equipment to cut them out but wood does it’s own thing sometimes. I use this thing to pet a few ornery parts into submission. I also use it to plane angry humps from 1&3/4” to 1&3/8 “ doors “It is not a commercial full time door plane”. l glued the bed stand up to keep it out of the way.
