   belt sander will work

   If you need to trim quite a bit, an angle grinder with a metal (thin) disc cuts like butter.  Score the line maybe a quarter in. deep along the whole cut, then drop down and cut it all the way through end to end.  Back cut it a bit, fine tune with the belt sander if necessary.

   I agree ,belt sander works well ,done it many times .Could also use a router with a 1/2 or 3/4 carbide bit . Router is dusty and the bit wasted ,but it makes a more accurate scribe if there are nooks and cranies.

   You can use a circular saw to. Cut from the bottom and use a straight edge.

   Used a cutting wheel on a drill and then finished with a belt sander. worked like a charm.

   Thanks to all.
