July 23, 2007 Fit D Door


The store just invested in a handy little tool accessory, that makes fitting "sticky" doors a breeze.

I have already check out the door hinges to make sure they were tight and the hinge recesses in the door and door frame were routed properly.

What is left is a shifted out of square door frame (steel in this case) or a wooden door that needs a tad bit of "trimming".

Craftsman has a heavy duty Rotary Moto-tool, that the PMT workshop already has for ratchet work.

The optional rotary-planer attachment was only $20 and will fix the door up, without having to take down the very heavy door (alone).

I‛ve owned this accessory at home for over a year now.

So, there‛s no gamble concerning its value to the store. I already know how "handy" one of these can be.

Oh, this tool utilizes a spiral cutter, that does door top end-grain much better than a conventional hand or block plane does.

As a bonus, at a fixed 1/64 inch depth of cut, the rotary tool is in very little danger of burning out doing this kind of work intermittently.
