For hollow core doors, take the time to take them down and do it properly. Popping out the hinge pins only takes a couple seconds.

I don't know how many times I've seen the skins start to split from their frame because someone used a jamb saw on them without any clamps.

As for this tool, it's a bad bandaid for the real problem, which is poor framing.

In a lot of situations, just shimming the top or bottom hinge will fix the reveal without the need for minor undercuts.
grind the floor
A hand planer works like a charm for s sticky door.
probably less messy, too

This is the correct answer. I was trying to figure out why anyone would use a tool like this. About the last thing I would do is alter a hollow core door, although I have done it in the past (once) with a circular saw and guide, and it was the thinnest cut I have ever made. laugh out loud
You can definitely undercut these doors without headaches, but they have to be taken off to avoid headaches.

Most people don't realize how cheaply made 99% of the doors in their house are and just assume busting through a door in a movie is an act of sheer strength.

It's also pretty hilarious to see people spend $1000+ on a set of doors and then cheap out on the frame, only for it to have a bad reveal after winter.

Off the shelf interior doors are mostly cardboard innards holding up a compressed wood skin with a couple inches of composite for a frame. Solid commercial doors are just compressed wood throughout.

It's not until you get into the $500 price point that you actually start to get some real wood in your solid wood door.

But I think at that point, you'd hire someone to put it in who actually carries around a carpenter's square.

As someone who grinds and resurfaces concrete floors for a living I love this answer lol. Just the thought of a multi thousand dollar floor grinding job because your door is hitting a little bit on it has me laughing haha.

Not sure why you're being downvoted, I'm a fan of Ryobi, But this has pretty bad reviews

What kind of door can you rasp that won't end up looking like a dog chewed it up?

For that, you just shove matchsticks in the screw holes and fill it with glue. Without the glue it just loosens again later.
I assume wood glue, not the student white glue, which is brittle.

Fun fact: They're the same thing! Elmer's even sells a "wood glue" that's just craft glue in an adult sized bottle.

The only decent wood glues are the offshoots. Avoid Titebond, though.

When I had to do it for screw holes in my original, 1930s, heavily-grained oak door that I could never hope to be able to afford to replace with anything that would match up, I used break-to-fit toothpicks and wood filler. No more problems with the surface-mount jimmy-proof lock loosening itself after that.

Awesome! I have been known to also have diamonds on the soles of my shoes.

What is your preferred overlay?

Don't waste your money on this. Have, used once, took like 30 mins to take off what a saw would have done in seconds. Gimmick shit.

Quote from elektronic :
I can't see how you will get a straight cut with this unless you have a really steady hand and good timing.

Use a circular saw with a guide.
.
That is what we use freehand if the bottom needs cut off after carpet or flooring. Tape both sides to minimize splintering and can see the pencil mark better on darker doors. The saw blade is coming up, so unless using the junkiest blade available, the side opposite of the saw will have no splinters, but for like a bathroom door that you see both sides, the tape and correct blade helps a lot. Have a little wood glue around for the occasional glitch.

===============
For the latch side and after you have checked to make sure hinges are seated and tight, close the door and run a pencil on door up the door stop to identify the tight spot(s). Remove door, sand, block plane, or electric plane for clearance and produce same line of gap when closed. If the widest gap is say, 3/32", you want the gap to be the same for at least that side or top. For a beginner, a block plane or sander. When you come off the edge with an electric planer, you can't let it drop, or you will leave/have a cup in the door... it takes a little practice on a scrap 2x4 or whatever.

If you don't want to do that, it is possible that you can shim one side the of the hinge to throw the door further away (inside of hinge), or closer (outside of hinge) to the latch side. Some narrow 1/16" plastic shims, or even a piece of metal flashing, etc., the height of the hinge works well, but you will have to hold in place with something while re-anchoring hinge... even your chewing gum. I drill a hole where a hinge screw goes and put a screw through to hold in place, but they sometimes fall off.

For the OP, there is no reaching the bottom of a hanging door, as the gimmicky tool gets in the way. Besides, I would rather make the mess outside and plane to the mark.

Reminds me of when I was getting granite counters and backsplashes installed. The worker was about to spend an hour or two cutting notches in the granite for my window sill... a $1.50 piece of 1x4. Luckily I caught him in time and pried off the sill with a screwdriver so he could flush it with the window. Later I trimmed the sill in 30 seconds with a jigsaw.
