A plane isn't the right tool to trim the bottom of a door, it's fine on

Even a cheap circular saw will work fine with a sawboard.

Agreed about the saw, but a bit of straight wood clamped to the door to
use as a guide will do fine.

It will work, agreed. But a sawboard is easier and prevents splintering.

For accuracy on door trimming the tool needs to be following a guide,


Doesn’t need to be accurate with the bottom of a door.

hence the circ saw method really is a no brainer


Wrong, as always.
