I've asked questions before about routers and had some very useful responses
which I shall peruse again on google.

This is a rather specific question:

I need to rebate a load of architrave so it sits cleanly over the plaster
which is higher in places than the door frame, and also sits tight to the
door frame. I can caulk between the architrave and wall but not between the
architrave and the frame as the wood's on show. Need to rebate between
2-5mm or so over about a 40-50mm width (sounds like several passes).

A plane, would probably be my next choice if I did not have a router table.

My choice would be my table saw (actually a Triton Workcentre), just put
the arch on edge against the fence, with the saw blade set low down, and
take the rebate out in 1 or 2 passes. No need for the finess of a router
as you are going to caulk in the joint anyway.
