Okay.

Now, in order of decreasing price and decreasing desirability, all cheaper than
a cheap router and cutter:

So much less dust, and, should the plane, the blade, and the wood cooperate: the
gentle whistle of the shaving paring off the board, the smell of newly-laid-open
oak, the little chirp as the plane come off the end...

Not arguing with the angle grinder, just saying.

(I'd round off all the undersides with the angle grinder first, so as to have my
hand well in when it comes to the visible side.)

OK But first he would have to teach himself how to sharpen the plane and then how to set it up and finally how to use it correctly. I think how to use a trim router might be easier
