Best way to fit a clothes washer under a counter
I had the exact same problem and rather than removing the wood from under the counter, I totally removed the feet from the bottom of the washer and that gave me an extra 5/8&quot;. I put some thin furniture felt pads on the corners of the washer and it slid right into the space.
If that doesn't float your boat, the Dremel with a routing bit will be accurate but will take a lot of time whereas a belt sander will knock off the job fast.
