I need to take 1/4" off the bottom of an interior door. What's the

don't trust my ability with a plane. Is there any alternative?
Circular saw and one of these; http://members.aol.com/woodmiser1/sawbd.htm

You will get a dead accurate clean cut.

That's a great idea. I don't have a circular saw, but I do have a
jigsaw. I suppose the sawboard would work with that too.


That's not a very good idea at all. The blade will tend to wander. You
can minimise this by cutting an inch or two along from alternate sides,
but this is a PITA. A panel saw would be far better, and doesn't take
long either!
