Mini-Router

The small ones are usually called laminate trim routers. Many manufacturers make them. Unless you are going to install a ton of locks the router might be more of a pain than having several sharp chisels.

There are also attachments to fit dremel type tools to turn them into super-mini-routers. They cut through a thin door skin pretty well, and can be played with by hand to trim to suit the final adjustment.

Hope this helps, Peter

A guy (I think over on clearstar) said he was thinking about getting a T-shirt made up that said "PLEASE USE OTHER DOOR" on the back.

Hello, Just want to say thanks to you guys for your opinions and input.I probably will just get the attachment for the dremel(19.95). In the mean time, I'll sharpen up the chisel for the small jobs. Later, Ralph.

p.s.Think I'll rev up the drill next time i'm doing a face bore so it smokes some.Scares 'em away good-lol.

Excellent idea! Too bad he can't copyright it, he could make some money. Of course that means that these people would have to read the shirt first and I don't know if I give them that much credit.
