   Makes drilling for soft close style hinges easy. I’d recommend using a bit of grease or oil on the bearing surface that comes into contact with the 35mm Forstner drill bit, as over time, the plastic bearing surface is likely to wear out, making the jig less accurate. The holes provided for the attachment screws are slightly off, so after the 35mm hole is drilled, I’d use a centering drill bit for the screw holes, using the actual hinge as a template. For screws, I’d recommend using stainless steel screws, as the zinc-plated screws that come with the set are weaker than stainless. I twisted off two of the screws when tightening them, and had to get a special pliers to remove them and patch with wood epoxy and re-drill the holes.

   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.

   I'm glad this came up as recommended when I was shopping for the hinges here. I can't even imagine how much time and frustration this unit saved me. Works exactly as advertised, and has a few different settings for different situations. I'm not sure if it's a one-size-fits-all solution, so make sure you know it will work in your situation. If so, you won't be sorry you bought it.

   I just finished a project of making 21 Shaker style kitchen cabinet doors with concealed hinges, and I used this Kreg jig for all of them. Using this jig allowed me to get a precise cut and line all the hinges up perfectly. Including some test pieces, I cut 46 pockets in 3/4" MDF. The blades on the cutter were still sharp after the last one, so it seems pretty durable. The jig is very easy to use, just make sure you follow the directions. This jig will cut a 5/8" deep hole. A little tip I picked up after a few pockets were made: hold a hose to a shop vacuum next to one of the holes in the top section of the jig. The cutter will make a huge mess and you won't be able to see what you're doing.

   I just used my new jig to cut the first two insets for my hinges. It’s freakin’ awesome. This guide is so simple. Pick your measurement (there’s a rule on the jig), attach the bit to your drill, clamp the jig and pull the trigger. There’s a set screw depth guide that you put on the drill bit. It automatically sets the proper drill depth. I used a piece of scrap to be sure the depth didn’t cut all the way through the door. It drilled a perfect depth, perfectly sized hole to accept the new hung assembly. This will be the easiest part of the project now.

   The only wish is that the maker of this 'device' would put centering lines on top of the plate and not just on the sides. You can actually cut your holes without fastening it down with clamps; just keep even down pressure on the plate with your non-drill-holding hand. It's all in the wrist.
