As others have said, get a blade made for the cut you need to do on your door. The blade in the pic is not a finish blade.
A half inch trim would be fine as others have stated, there is a wood frame in a hollow door. Take the door off by popping out the pins on the hinges. Much easier to deal with than unscrewing the hinges from the door.

Thanks.
Carpet is installed, no way I rip it out. Our family, our house, our rules, LOL
Noted that I need a better blade. At least I got the right tool.
Noted that I need to use tape to prevent splinter. And I plan to sand the edges to apply a small chamfer.
Noted that I need a straight edge tool. Will shop at Amazon for something similar. No way I go to a Harbor Freight right now.
Already knew to take pins out, not way I unscrew the hinges.
Thanks folks!

Is the door hollow core or solid wood?
That was my question since it wasn't stated and most of the advice offered is for hollow core doors.
