I've got to trim a quarter inch off of the top of a pine cabinet to make
room for a new refrigirator. The cabinet sits above the refrigorator. I've
got the cabinet section off, and before I have at it with my circular saw, I
thought I'd like to hear suggestions on how to make the cleanest cut. I'm
looking for a very straight line, with no chips on the edge of the cut. Just
to make it difficult, I can't find an exact match for the original stain so
it will be difficult to hide any cutting chips or splinters.

I was thinking of using my circular saw with a new blade (what to get?) and
clamp a long level to use as a fence, then pray!

Any suggestions woule be most welcome.

I'd take the doors off and run it through the table saw using the fence
as the guide. It would be similar to cutting the top off a large box.
