Diycrew hrvdiy renovision need to resize a door that gets stuck.
How to cut opemimg in 6 panel door.
The doors i am replaceing are 2 6 wide so no problem there.
The festool track saw made this really really easy we just used a square to set the cutting edge of the track and made sure the blade depth was enough for the recess.
Need a creative solution.
Do i cut 1 of the top and bottom or 2 off the bottom.
You can further reduce splintering by placing a piece of scrap wood with a hole drilled in it directly under the mortise hole.
However it would mean that the door would have to open and close with the overlapping side opening and clossing first.
Or you cold hinge each side to open opposite each other.
The hole in the scrap wood.
For the door i am cutting into our goal was to get as close to the edge of the panel opening as possible and keep it as straight along that edge without cutting outside the panel.
Maybe replace an old door and it just won t fit.
The doors are 6 4 high and i have bought 6 6 panelled doors to replace them from howdens.
Cut a jigsaw blade down to lengh so that when cutting the tip of the blade just misses the high point of the panel below as you can see only one skin of the door can be cut at a time because when the doors are manufactured the panels are not aligned could also be cut out with a tenon saw.
