Milescraft 1342 Euro Hinge Jig – Concealed Hinge Jig, Drilling Guide, Drill Guide Jig for Framed and Frameless Cabinets. Metal Drill Guide Produces Perfect Hinge Holes. 35 mm Forstner Bit Included

The Milescraft 1342 Euro Hinge Jig and 1341 Drawer Jig are two tools that offer a practical solution for installing concealed hinges and reversible drawer slides. For those wondering about compatibility with IKEA cupboard doors, the jig can work as long as the drilled cup is shallower than the thickness of the door. The same goes for custom depth hinges that can be manually set to ensure precision. Aligning the plate template with the door and the cabinet can be done with a notch on both ends or by measuring the centerline on both pieces. Feedback from different buyers indicate that the instructions for Milescraft products can be confusing, although watching a video online can help clarify things. One reviewer recommends practicing first on scrap before proceeding to actual drilling. Most of the positives reviews recommend using a pair of face clamps to hold the jig in place and the precision of the built-in drill stop. While some found the drill bit included to be poor or the jig a bit flimsy for daily use, others drilled up to 52 hinge holes with satisfaction. Summing up, the jig offers an affordable solution for those who only need it for a handful of cabinets, and for hobbyists, but may not be durable enough for frequent use by professionals.
