best bargain electric planer

^opm^

I have four doors to fit upstairs and as they all will need cutting down a bit to size and im only on about a few mile of width-which my jig saw wont cut that thinness straight-i have been looking at buying an electric planer-seem to go in price from about £25 -£30 upwards in argos book-not looked elsewhere yet-anyone have any recommendations and are they good for just say taking 3 or 4 mm of a width of an internal door-do they do a good and neat job?

thank you

I would suggest a hand planer much cheaper and you can control it more.

Just shouted to mr divadee and he recommended the same.

HTH ;D

my mom has a hand planer and i know that thing is useless lol-sometimes it just dont cut then it digs in and takes a wallop off-so not keen on using a hand planer tho.....

Lots of cheap electric tools about, Lidl and aldi are usually good as 3 yr Gtee.but none at mo. Try B&Q as they are clearing old ranges, or Argos £29.99
It doesnt have to be a professional tool for small jobs, and they do last

Power tools are cheap and plentiful, Lidl and aldi usually best value as German sourced and Gtee 3yrs, but none at mo AFIK

Try B&Q as they are clearing old range, or Argos has this for £29.99 and this at £19.99
