I've used this particular jig for drilling concealed hinge holes for several years. This purchase is to replace one I wore out. They provide a PERFECT fitting hole each and every time. If you want to make sure that you have at least one part of your project done correctly, buy one of these jigs. Even a novice is guaranteed perfect hinge fits each and every time.

I Used my Kreg hinge jig on eight kitchen cabinet doors today. I installed blum compact concealed hinges ( 38 Series hinges). I set my Kreg boring tool at 3mm for the door edge distance. The tool worked great and my doors turned out perfect. I recommend the Kreg hinge jig. UPDATE !!!, April 15,2018 : I JUST FINISHED MY KITCHEN CABINET DOORS. I BORED 52 TOTAL HOLES ( 26 DOORS ). THE CABINET DOOR FRAMES THAT I BORED WITH MY KREG JIG WERE SOLID OAK. THE KREG JIG WORKED FLAWLESSLY !. I CLEANED THE WOOD SHAVINGS FROM THE JIG AFTER EACH HOLE. THE LAST HOLE THAT I BORED WAS JUST AS EASY AS THE FIRST. THE BIT AND HOUSING BOTH LOOK PERFECT. I'M SURE THAT I COULD DRILL MANY MORE HOLES WITH THIS UNIT. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS JIG.

I had 18 cabinet doors to bore (36 hinges). This contraption began disintegrating by door 11 (22 holes) - and totally useless by door 13. Drill bit dulls quickly, then plastic parts melt from the heat of the drill-bit shaft and cause hinge holes to be completely out of whack. Subsequently, hinges end up out of line and doors hang crooked. So...if you're only drilling 10 or less doors, it should be okay. Anymore than that - you'll need extra bits ($20 each). Also consider blowing it with compressed air while drilling. As my dad always said..."this was almost a good idea".

I ended up having to buy a second jig just to finish the job on my kitchen cabinets. The problem with the jig is that the hole that the drill bit rides in is just plastic. It should have a metal bearing for the bit to spin in not just a hole in the plastic body of the jig. Before I realized what was happening the plastic melted from the friction of the drill bit. I came very close to ruining one of my cabinet doors by having the hole end up dangerously close to the edge of the door. If Kreg would just insert a metal bearing in the plastic body of the jig it would be a great product. If you buy this jig just be sure to clean the saw dust out of the plastic bearing and lubricate this area during the job.

Had used a Kreg jig before and just hadn’t owned one. Building a rather large kitchen and the cabinets I needed this jig and then some. Expectations were met and exceeded. Works best slowing down the speed of production. That works for me.
