Full details

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Does this jig work with square-corner hinges?

This jig is specifically designed for 1/4 inch and 5/8 inch radius round hinges.

Can I use my own router bit?

The kit includes a compatible router bit, but you can use others if they match the required shank diameter and dimensions for the jig.

Is this tool suitable for beginners?

Yes, its design simplifies the mortising process, though we recommend practicing on scrap wood first to get used to the router handling.

What is the material of the jig?

The jig is crafted from high-strength, anodized 6061 aluminum alloy.

Does the package include everything needed to hang a door?

It includes the mortiser, router bit, self-centering bit, and a screwdriver bit, which covers the essential cutting and drilling needs.

Troubleshooting

Mortise depth is inconsistent

Verify that the depth gauge is locked tightly and that the router base is sitting perfectly flat against the surface of the jig.

Jig slides during routing

Ensure the clamping mechanism is fully tightened and that the jig is properly seated against the door edge.

Hinge holes are off-center

Ensure you are using the included self-centering bit correctly by applying even, perpendicular pressure during the drilling process.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable anodized aluminum build
  • Comprehensive kit includes necessary bits
  • Adjustable for various hinge sizes
  • Consistent, professional-grade results
  • Suitable for both professional and home use

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before starting, ensure your router is equipped with the included bit and set to the appropriate speed. The jig is compatible with door hinges ranging from 2-1/2 to 5 inches. When setting up, always double-check the jig's position against your door's layout marks. To maintain the tool, clear wood chips and dust from the jig surfaces after every use to ensure the depth gauge remains accurate. Store the aluminum components in a dry environment to prevent any potential oxidation over extended periods of inactivity.
