An elongated opening passes through the body member, from its lower surface into open communication with the longitudinal channel. An elongated blade is secured within the body member and positioned to selectively adjustably pass through the opening into the longitudinal channel to engage the edge being passed through the longitudinal channel. An adjustment assembly allows for incremental and consistent adjustment of the blade's cutting depth. Storage compartments are provided within the body member for conveniently and safely storing replacement blades.
