I've got to trim a quarter inch off of the top of a pine cabinet to make room for a new refrigirator. The cabinet sits above the refrigorator. I've got the cabinet section off, and before I have at it with my circular saw, I thought I'd like to hear suggestions on how to make the cleanest cut. I'm looking for a very straight line, with no chips on the edge of the cut. Just to make it difficult, I can't find an exact match for the original stain so it will be difficult to hide any cutting chips or splinters.
I was thinking of using my circular saw with a new blade (what to get?) and clamp a long level to use as a fence, then pray!
Any suggestions woule be most welcome.
