I was told to consider using a dremel but do they sell an attachment
that would allow me to cut a straight edge 1/4" from bottom? * I don't
want jaggered cuts and I don't know right now if the bottom is
perfectly level.

And is there a better tool for this? *I already have a dremel tho.
What type of dremel blade and accessory is good for this cut? *I don't
know if this is some kind of composite board or wood since it's
painted. *Feels like wood but I can't be 100% sure.
