Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons
The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

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.

    This jig allowed me to mortise out for three hinges in minutes on the door slab and jamb

    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


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

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