Hm, I have one, and have used it exactly twice. Didn't care for the
results either time. Any hints for using one of these to, say, shave
down a sticking door?
planing a sticking door is often a mistake. before you get out the
plane, make sure that the hinges are tight and set right and that the
jamb is square.
Well, it's welded steel in a cement block wall (at my kids' school), so
if it's not, I don't have a lot of options to fix that.
if it still sticks, mark out where and how much and
take the door down and pull all of the hardware. generally you'll be
planing the hinge side. set the plane for a light cut and sneak up on
your line.
Ah, hadn't thought of cutting it on that side. Why there, rather than
the side that's actually hitting?
make sure that you have a good grasp of the door geometry, including
bevels.
I'm good with the bevels, but far as I know, the rest of it
is...uncomplicated. Or, is there something subtle going on?
