What's it for?

Think of it as a hand held jointer. It is primarily used for planing the
edge of boards or doors. It can also be used to bevel an edge.

I'm not crazy about supporting anything about advertising,
especially ebay stuff, but the tool is an excellent tool owned by
about every wood door hanger in the country. Precision in the
hands of an experienced craftsman.

I like that. I'm going to implement that in my postings. It perfectly
illustrates why top posting so often makes sense. Ought to really
drive the netKops nuts. Of course if the netwits would learn to edit,
there wouldn't be any debate.

it's as close to a precision tool as you'll get in a handheld machine.
it's a high quality tool.

Hm, I have one, and have used it exactly twice. Didn't care for the
results either time. Any hints for using one of these to, say, shave
down a sticking door?
