thx
A plane isn't the right tool to trim the bottom of a door, it's fine on
the edges. You need a circular saw and a sawboard

Agreed. Unless it's only 1 or 2mm - and even then I find it difficult to
get a consistent depth with a plane.
Even a cheap circular saw will work fine with a sawboard.
Yep - just did one with the Lidl cordless circular saw and the
surprisingly good sawboard.
