Pros & Cons
Pros
Product is as accurate as you are. The * is easy to use and accurate. While the instructions are a bit cryptic, if you take your time, it all makes sense.
This sure beats a chisel method! Bye bye hammer and crappie chisel. The only thing is is if they would include extra duplex nails.
There have been some observations about the quality and durability of the router bit. The only downfall is the bit.
Cons
The products primary shortcomings include:1. The packaging is terrible. This seems unnecessarily complicated. The only thing acceptable about this item is the price, and i gladly would have paid twice as much for a product that worked well.
The template is ok but the provided fastening to the door being routed is poor. When routing the jamb side, the teeth on the adjustment mechanism are not flush with the face of the template. I am no newbie to routers, i have 3 and about 50 bits.
The mortising bit on this cheap * is total junk. Even with shallow passes this bit smoked and barely got the job done in one scrap walnut board. This * just isn't rigid enough to give the mortise a uniform depth.
Highlights
Quality
It’s accurate and easy to set up and use.
This works great for mortising hinges into doors and jambs.
The bit started burning on the first mortise and was smoking by the third.
The bit basically died on the first mahogany door i used it on.
Price
This router jog works quite well for the price.

I ended up getting a diablo carbide bit dr16560 but any 1234 bit with a 5834 top bearing or a bit that has an 1834 bigger top bearing would work

But this tool made me look like a pro in front of my friends

The mortising bit that comes with the jig will only handle and dozen or so mortises before it’s done
