Kreg KHI-HINGE Concealed Hinge Jig – Precision Cabinet Door Hinge Tool – Drill Guide for Concealed (Euro) Cabinet Hinge Installation – Adjustable Boring Jig – 35mm cup-style concealed hinges

I have used other Kreg items in the past and was pleased with the quality. I needed to install some soft close hinges and looked on Amazon for drilling fixtures. The other brands were close in price (one was actually only $15). I decided to spend the extra $12 for something I felt may offer more quality long term if I needed to use it again. The fixture is well built. I found the Fostner bit was sharp enough for the pine cabinet doors I worked with. Some reviews mention it being a bit dull. I installed 40 hinges with zero issues. The only thing the fixture lacks is the 1/16" drill bit required for the hinge mounting. They should include two of those and provide a place under the fixture plate to store them. They have a slot for the hex key provided and they could add the drill bits next to that. Good fixture for the price point. Made quick work of installing the hinges. Would be very tedious to lay it all out by hand.

My wife and I are in the process of buying her parents' house, and we decided to paint the kitchen cabinets to freshen up the space. Since we were going to have the cabinet doors off, we also decided to replace the old standard hinges with Euro-Style, soft-close hinges. I soon learned that this would require boring a hole in the back of the door a certain distance from the edge, and the project got a lot more complicated.This jig made the installation of the hinges incredibly simple! With the information from your hinge manufacturer, you can set the position of the bore holes easily. The other built-in measuring scale lets you make the hole in the same vertical position on each door. The Forstner bit that comes with the jig is the standard, 35mm diameter, and includes a stop collar to help you bore the holes to the correct depth. As if that wasn't enough, there are also guides for drilling pilot holes for the hinge hardware.Tips: You are going to need a CORDED drill (if you're doing more than a door or two), as the boring will wear down a cordless battery very quickly. You are going to need a couple of clamps (I got my mine from Kreg, as well) to secure the jig while you are drilling. It's nice to have a second pair of hands to help you clamp while you hold the jig in the correct position. It's also nice to have a second drill (cordless would be fine) set with the bit to drill the pilot holes so you don't have to switch bits back and forth. Finally, we discovered that using a shop vac while boring dramatically reduced the mess, and made clean up at the end a breeze.I really can't say enough positive things about this product. It saved us tons of time and produced great results.

Good tool. Good quality

I needed to repair a kitchen cabinet to install a hidden hinge. This jig and the accompanying drill bit did the trick. My first time completing this type of repair. Easy to use. Cut an accurate hole without damaging the face of the cabinet door.

I was going to build several cabinet doors to replace the ones in my Son's kitchen and I wanted to use concealed pocket hinges. I had never used pocket hinges before. After reading how to make the holes and how exact you needed to be in placement of the holes, fear started to take over. After researching, I found there were several jigs that you could buy to make the job a piece of cake. I have several other Kreg jigs and I am pleased with the quality and ease of use of them so I decided to spend a little more money and purchase this one. I am pleased to say that it work perfectly and I was able to get all the door holes drilled out and the hinges in place with perfect alignment. The unit comes with instructions on how to set the jig based on the hinge manufacturer's recommendations for placement. This was very easy to do; if the hinge company does in fact provide instructions for this. If they don't, then you are going to have to do some trial and error on some scrap wood in order to find the exact spacing for the holes. The only issue I have with this unit is that Kreg uses a proprietary sized shank for the 35mm Forstner bit. So you can't just use an off the shelf 35mm Forstner bit when this one wears out. You have to buy a Kreg bit. Also, this has a depth-stop collet that uses a set screw to hold it in place. Somewhere during the time I was using the bit, the screw must have worked itself out and I lost it. I had to find a compatible sized screw and cut it to length to use as the set screw and this works. If you find that you have to do this, make sure that the screw is cut short so it doesn't extend past the collet as the weight of the screw outside the collet boundry will cause the bit to become unbalanced and wobble when drilling.

Easy to use. Usually i dont like all plastic jigs but this has no reason to be any other material. Really happy with ease of use and results
