Default Stupid newbie question on Routers

The onlt thing I can think of at the moment that I really want to do
with it is rouer out a little bit of wood on my cabinet hinges because
my new cabinet hinges leave an air gap slightly larger than the old
ones did.


Probably a good use for a trim router. Practice on some scrap first.
Remember you really can put wood *back* if you grind it away. I'd suspect
that most others would take a chisel to this task.


I realize that, but I bet with a little practice with my trim router I
can do a much nicer job (and quicker too) with a router. If I end up
doing all my kitchen cabinet doors than you really don't want to use a
chisel.

Perhaps I should post some pictures of some of the doors I'm trying to
fix and see what you guys advise I do. It's not just the kitchen
cabinet doors, I've also got interior doors I need to fix also. I
should probably post some pictures of those to see if you think I
should reuse or replace the frames.
