SOSS212-IT Wood Router Guide Template for #212 Invisible Hinges, 3/8" Router Bit Size

Although a very simple idea, the unit could have been made of a much more durable material. Having said that it works just fine, with the built in idiot proof instructions. In all a very good product.

Almost a necessity when installing SOSS hinges, which by the way are amazing and worth every penny. It's a bit funky and not particularly nicely made, and might need replacing after a few hinges, but it does work and it works perfectly.

This jig worked perfect for my hinge application.

This is worth buying if you're doing more than 1 or 2 hinges. I was doing 6 for double pantry doors. I bought one template and made a door template with 3 holes using that one. you have to use a flush trim router bit with the second template, but if you have one already, it saves money. FYI, buy the PORTER-CABLE 42024 bushing. I have a standard bushing set for my router, but they were not deep enough. That PC bushing has a deep throat that reaches down to the 2 screws for the inner mortise.

This was a super timesaver and as it worked perfectly with the other parts it made for amazingly sharp/clean results.It's expensive for a piece of wood YES but all in all.........worth it.

Worked ok, the screws had barely any thread so stripped out with hardly any effort. Be sure the Porter Cable guide is VERY tight and secure to your routers base, no movement at all.

Expensive but superior product

I thought I ordered the wrong one...it's just THAT much of a pain in the butt to use. I never used it...looked at the directions and sent it back. Do yourself a favor and follow the alternate instructions for SOSS hinges...but the right size drill bit and do it that way. I installed 5 hinges that way and it works fine.
