Milescraft 1229 Hinge Jig PLUS – Dual Clamping Door Hinge Jig Door Hinge Mortiser. Complete Hinge Installation Kit Rout Mortises from 2.5” to 4.5”. Strike and Latch Plates Included for Standard Doors

Let me start by saying, if you are doing hinges and or latches on doors, this product was awesome. Easy to set up, adjust and use. I routed 18 door hinges and 6 door latches in less than an hour. Keep in mind I'm not a carpenter just a diy'er/homeowner putting new solid wood doors in the house.

it worked perfectly and as described, easy to use .

Great product for DIY homeowner. Adjustable to accomodate multiple common hinge sizes. Rubber clamps hold jig tightly in place without having to damage object with nails, although jig does have nail holes to allow for better stability during use. Can be used on jamb uprights only if door stops are not installed or present. Jig also has patterns for a couple of common door striker and latch plate. Excellent hard plastic, not very flexible at all (if you don't really crank down hard on the screw clamps). I also found a way to use this jig to countersunk rectangle for a non-standard sized vintage latch plate, by routing out most of it and then moving the jig to finish the size I need.Very handy jig! It comes with a router bit equipped with a standoff bearing. Be careful lowering or raising the router in and out of the jig while it is running as you can catch the router blade in the plastic walls of the jig and damage them. I searched a while before I decided to purchase a hinge mount jig, and I am very glad I chose this one.

Works well enough but don't like the flex the jig does when getting to proper tightness. Also the moveable guides for 3, 4, 4.5" hinges has fallen out twice while routing. Once this led to a gouge that extended an inch longer than the hinge.

Relatively easy to use, but it does require some patience to learn how to set up properly, especially when switching from jambs to doors and setting depths accordingly.Routed edge is not precision fit to hinges and plates but rather creates ~ 1/16” over gap. In most situations, this is probably adequate, as the gap will be hidden as a shadow line once the project pieces are stained or painted.

Great value and it worked really well for the 3 doors I needed to do. I wish the whole thing was a little more rigid. If you tighten the clamps too far then the whole thing tips a little on the door and you don't get an even depth. As long as you follow the instructions and don't over tighten it works great.If you have a lot of doors to do I'd get something better quality. But for a DIY person like me this is exactly what I expected and needed.

This made super quick work of cutting hinge pockets in my new door slabs.. Gone are the days of sheetrock knifes and a sharp chisel.. Super easy to use and came out perfectly

Awesome product !
