Review: Has everything you need for a hobbyist or homeowner. - I saw some all-aluminum jigs here on desertcart for about 2x or more the price. And at first, I considered getting one, thinking it would be better than plastic. But most didn't have that good of reviews unless you paid a lot. And the ones I saw didn't include a drill guide for inside the cabinet, which I need. I'm only drilling for two doors, so I don't need a high-end jig. This plastic jig might not last forever, but it is plenty rugged for my sized project. It comes with a guidepost to do 3" or 4" from edge of door. I happen to need 5", but not a big deal, I just won't use the guidepost and measure it manually. It has offset settings of 2.5 to 7mm. I thought I was going to need a custom offset more than 7mm, which would be very difficult to do with this jig. But I was mistaken, I need a standard 4mm offset and so it works perfect. I'm sure 99% of users will be satisfied with the offset choices. It comes with the Forstner bit, locking collar, Allen wrench for the locking collar, a 1/16" pilot drill for the mounting screws, a guidepost, and a template for drilling the mount on the cabinet. All the misc pieces snap into place on the bottom of the jig. This is pretty much everything you need besides a power drill and a clamp. Another user suggested putting a little grease, not liquid oil, onto the shaft of the Forstner bit to prevent it from overheating the plastic of the jig. This is a good idea. As far as how good is the Forstner bit, it worked perfect for my project, but I only had two doors to drill. I can't say how long it will last. Now, as far as drill guide for the mounting screws, there are 4 sets of holes to choose from. And yet, none of the 4 sets seemed perfect. What I did was, drilled the main hole with 4 mm offset. But then changed it to 2mm offset and one of the sets of holes was where I needed them to be. I'm not sure why I needed to do that, but it worked for me. If you do cabinets for a living, you might need something more advanced, durable than a plastic jig. But for a hobbyist or homeowner needing to do a household of cabinets, this is an excellent value.
Review: Works perfectly if you use it properly. - All components necessary are included, including instructions. Three of the parts are snapped into clips on the bottom of the jig (the 1/16" drill bit, the edge stop pin, and the marking gauge). The 35 mm forstner bit is of good quality and sharp. It cut the holes in my doors nicely. One thing that is not mentioned in the instructions is that it is probably a good idea to put a light film of grease on the shaft of the forstner drill bit. I suggest grease because you don't want oil running down the shaft and staining your wood. When installing the drill guide for the forstner bit into the base, line the tabs on the side of the guide up with the slots in the base of the jig, and them be sure it is pressed all the way down before trying to rotate it clockwise to lock it into position. I struggled with that for a bit before I realized I didn't have it pushed down quite all the way. When drilling, try to insure that you are applying pressure straight down rather than leaning one way or another. If you're leaning, you will be applying pressure to the drill guide. The bearing surface of the drill guide is steel but it's not very thick. If you are applying side pressure, it might heat up and begin to soften the surrounding plastic which will then deform. The above mentioned lubricant will help prevent this. The jig provides 4 sets of 1/16" guide holes for for pre-drilling the mounting screw holes for the hinge. You may have to mark them by pushing the provided drill bit through each hole to mark the wood surface and then remove the jig and, using a hinge, determine which pair of holes you need to drill for your particular hinge. The jig can then be replaced accurately so you can drill the holes. The instructions show using a clamp to secure the jig to the door during drilling. I strongly suggest that you do that so you can concentrate on keeping your drill straight and not have to worry about holding the jig in position. For my hinges (Blum) the mounting holes were not quite exactly correct. But they were only of by .010" or .020" and they worked just fine anyway. Bottom line is I am very happy with this jig.

## Features

- Two edge alignment knobs position the cup hole from the edge of the door, while the edge pin sets the distance from the top/bottom.
- The drill guide with metal bushing locks into jig and creates a perfectly straight hinge cup hole
- Guide bushings built into body of drilling jig leta you pre-drill pilot holes in 4 common locations, making sure hinges are straight and door closes true. The 1/16" diameter drill bit for pilot holes is included.
- Easily set your cup hole depth on the included 35mm drill bit using the built-in depth setting fixtures on the left and right side.
- The hinge marking guide detaches from bottom of jig and allows you to transfer and mark center lines and hinge location to cabinet wall or frame

Good for the $ - not the sturdiest fixture but it is plastic. Screw holes produce acceptable results - they are not exactly centered but screws go in and center themselves. I only needed to do 4 doors - if I was doing many more I would likely look for a better fixture. Delfinitely gets the job done and would recommend for limited amount of work.
