While a power planer will do much of the job, it doesn't get into
corners very well.

Yeahbut, neither will a router. He doesn't have a corner problem though.
He has a problem with the opening being too narrow. A power plane will take
care of that nicely.


If you've never used one though, plan on practicing before you use it
in anger.--it's very, very easy to turn a straight edge into one with
a bow.

A router with a suitable jig might be a better bet. The Bosch Colt
with the offset base will get very close to a corner.


Unless I'm missing something, there are no corner issues here, and a router
would not be the better choice.
