It's for shaving a door or gate that is slightly too wide/tall and sticking in the frame.

Usually if a door isn't closing you need to adjust the hinges to get it straight and level again, but sometimes wood swells or new flooring is slightly higher etc and you just need to take a bit off
Get a hand planer, much better control and cleaner cuts.

Look on YouTube for reviews of this tool.

A hand plane is proobably the most versatile tool on earth. If you can sharpen a blade, you should absolute own at least one.
can you recommend one? I looked at some reviews and either they were $30 - $50 and "junk, need to spend lots of time to fix the non-flat base, sharpen the blade, and would not stay aligned" or $150, If I wanted one for the base and sides of a door, which hand planer would you recommend that didnt cost $150.

Isn't the right way to do this to pull the door and trim off and re-shim the door to actually fit properly?
Oh, maybe.

Paneled and some other doors swell from moisture disproportionately. If you put a straight edge on edge of door and it is not straight, are you going to move the door frame to fit a curved door edge, or just plane the door down back to straight to match the frame that did not move?

Quote from ramblerFW :
Where are you putting the tape? On the face of the door along the very top?
.
You only use 'painter's tape' when using a circular saw and 99% of the time, that is the bottom of a door when cutting cross grain on the edge stiles; the center part is typically with grain. Since the circular saw blade is rotating up at the leading edge, you always cut from the side you don't normally see, or will see less. The tape, that you want to cut through and not as an edge guide, does not stop all of the chip out, but most of it. The saw blade you are using is the most important part of it to minimize tear out and go slow. Nothing like having a homeowner standing there and watching you with a magnifying glass.... lol

You don't use tape with a planer, as it would just gum it up and serves no purpose. When using a planer on the bottom, come from both ends. Once again, the side stiles are a cross grain cut that will give you edge tear out if you plane past that side edge of door. Come in from the edges and plane to the reference line you have marked. What also helps to minimize tear out, is to 'relief' the edge just a touch when cross grain planing before doing the flat edge.

And once again, do not ever cross grain plane from the center to past the outer edge.... always start from the outside and plane inward. A good habit to get into even with an electric planer on straight grain edges because if you don't hold the butt of the electric planer down tight as you come off the edge, you are going to cut a divet/divot in the wood.

If you have tear out, save the pieces and glue then back in. If the door is painted, you could always use a little Bondo if need be.

I need to shave the door from the bottom. We changed the carpet and it's too thick to open and close one of the interior doors.

Will this tool work for this purpose??

I might not have enough room for the tool to attach under the door? I am guessing. (Edit: never mind, I can take off the door and then shave the bottom )
Remove the door from the hinges, use a tracksaw or a circle saw with a straight edge (such as you level) and cut however much you need. You can borrow the circular saw from your friends or neighbors or buy one from Mendards for $27 (corded). You will be able to use the circular saw for other projects. This thing can only trim doors and it doesn't do a very good job.

Anyone know of an equivalent tool that will do the same for the bottom of a door? This wont work because the tool is too thick for clearance to the floor.
this only works if you are on the vertical side of the door. if you need access to the bottom, you'll unfortunately need to take the door off of the hinges first.

Quote from Fogmoose :
Some things simply can't be short-cutted. In your situation, the only way to fix the problem is as you say to take the door off the hinges and trim the bottom. This tool only works on the edge of a door. You couldnt use it on the top or the bottom anyway, even if the door was removed from the hinges. The reason for this is that you would be cutting against the grain, and that would cause the tool to either jump or tear up the door. Probably both.
Wrong...look at the photos on HD"s site.

Another issue would be that if the door was sealed or painted it would be a good idea to repeat with the same product s the wood doesn't absorb moisture, especially in a bathroom.

I dont care what the photos show. Try using it like I said and you will discover to your sorrow that I am correct. Although reading the OP's post again I see he may have been referencing an exterior door, which can not be trimmed at the bottom and would have to be adjusted at the hinges.

What?...what good would this tool be if it only shaved the edges?? A stuck/ sticking door doesn't hit only on it's edge. You definitely can remove an exterior door and shave the bottom if you need to.

Sure you can. Using the proper tool. This is not that tool. But go ahead and buy one and try it.

Quote from EliezerKolatch :
Because it only takes 5 min to take a door off the hinges.

But it takes about 20-45 min to align it and put it back on the hinges depending on the weight of the door.

The easy way is to unscrew the hinge plates but that loosens the screws in the wood and weakens the faceplate. The harder way is to tap out the hinge pins.

People usually recommend vintage Stanley #4 planes. There are a ton on eBay, they are inexpensive and you can find ones that are ready to use or need a little work, for people who like restoring them.
