On the repop shroud I have (Jack Munser I believe), the edge of the fan opening turns inward 90 degrees towards the fan blades. This "lip" is about 7/16". The original 19" fan (with clutch) slightly rubs on the bottom. I have what I think is a photo of the original plastic shroud, and it does not appear to have this "lip"; it looks straight. Without the lip the fan would have enough clearance.
Is there a way to trim this lip? I thought of using a router with a flush trim bit, but not sure how the plastic would take to being trimmed with a router. I've done plenty of woodworking over the years, but never tried trimming plastic, at least soft plastic like this shroud.
