Default cutting a pair of old closet doors without splintering?

I have a pair of sliding closet doors that need 1/2" cut off the ends.
These doors are old and I don't want to have to repaint them. What would be
the best way to trim them without splintering?

Thanks,
John Walters

Thanks! Unfortunately, I don't own one of those I don't believe.... would
the local lumber yard have one?
