Which is a suitable type of plane to buy for shaving the bottoms of doors? I noticed there were a few types. Looking for a hand plane, not an electric plane. Ta.

A number 5 jack plane should do it- or you can get a small block plane (depends on the use amount of material to plane.
If its more than 1/2 inch i would carefully jigsaw it first and finish with the plane- dont forget to deburr it with some medium sandpaper toojust to take any sharp edges off.

personally id never use a jiggy for cutting a door down as the blade has a tendency to wander.
there is plenty of info on general concenus on the forum about doing this.
and if your only doing the bottom of the door then go for a smoothing plane.

Should we be encouraging DIYers to take the bottom of a door with an eletric planer ,the procces must include using the planner on its edge that means part of the blade will be exposed on the blind side and i'm sure we all do it this way I'm not being preachy,what do you lot think ??? has anyone ever got back with grisly DIY amputationes tales

Don't be silly - that's a shoulder rebate plane!
You can always adjust the fence so that only the required width of the cutter is exposed.....
That said the first month I had an electric planer many years back I managed to shave 2mm off the end of one finger. Loads of blood, but fortunately it didn't put me off work
