FAQ

Product Questions

Which Hinge Jig works with a 3.5 inch hinge with .25 inch corner radius?

All of our jigs strait from the box will produce a 6mm radius, a 0.25 inch radius would be 6.35mm.

In the compatibility chart, it indicates you cannot use certain routers with the hinge jig, why?

This is just a recommendation because of the heavier weight of the router which makes if difficult to recess the top hinge on the door lining or frame.

Is the HINGE/JIG, H/JIG/A and H/JIG/C suitable for routing out 10mm radius round-ended hinges?

If you fit a GB240 guide-bush, which has a 24mm diameter and longer spigor) and use a 20mm diameter cutter e.g. Ref: TR20DX1/4TC then it will work because the offset between the cutter and the guide-bush still remains 2mm each side.

After recessing the hinges with the hinge jig is the job complete?

The corners need to be squared with a chisel because the router cutter leaves a radius. We offer a corner chisel ref. C/CHISEL which has a High Speed Blade for this purpose. The chisel is placed in the recess and hit with a hammer, this creates a square corner.
