Full details

The Milescraft HingeJig is designed for both DIY enthusiasts and professional carpenters who need to install new doors quickly and accurately into existing frames. This self-clamping jig significantly reduces the time and effort required for hinge and latch mortise routing. However, it's important to note that this jig is specifically designed for use on doors and not for the door frames themselves. Key features include self-clamping, adjustable settings, and compatibility with various hinge sizes.
