I need to slightly widen a 10'ish mm rebate in a door frame (it holds an intumescent fire strip).
Ideally, a 10mm straight router bit would get rid of the paint and widen it enough but I don't have a router.
Apart from sanding down the entire rebate (which would a PITA and take ages) is there a crafty way to do this?
I've considered getting a router bit, putting it in a drill and letting the existing rebate guide it.
Plough plane? Looking at eBay 'sold' listings, around £20 for a usable Record - you'll probably still need a chisel for the ends...
