I have several interior wooden doors that no longer close properly due to settling and swelling of the various components. I've decided my best option is to plane the edges of the doors where they rub against the frame.
I've read a jack plane or belt sander will do the trick. I'm leaning towards a hand plane because I think a belt sander won't give me a straight edge and it could create indentations if I don't know what I'm doing. I don't.
Now I'm seeing all kinds of tools called jack planes, sweetheart planes and various angle planes. What will work for me? I'm not a woodworker, so it may be a single use tool, but who knows.
Thanks!
