I have had to plane off an amount on the latch side of an old (80 yr or so) interior door. Now i need to deepen the mortise the old style latch fits into. Kind of at a loss as to what to use to reach down in there probably close to 3" to take another 1/4" out. The mortise is approx
thanks!
---------------------------------- Home made mortising jig for a variable speed plunge router equipped with a 4 flute, 1/2" dia end mill.
I made the jig from a plan found with Google search.
Might also be on Pat Barber's site.
Due to the unsupported length of the bit, keep RPM around 10,000.
Have fun.
