8654 Tectus 640 3D Hinge Template

Our two-step Hinge Jigs are the fastest, easiest and most accurate way to rout the two-step mortises required for invisible hinges. Made of 1/2" phenolic for heavy duty use, this large jig measures 7-5/8" x 15-5/8" for maximum router support. Includes an 16" Double Track for mounting the jig and clamping to your work. Clamps not included.  Optional double Track 72" (4072) or 95" (4095) length available to mount multiple two-step Hinge Jigs for consistent hinge spacing.  Optional 6507 Self-Centering Drill centers itself in the invisible hinge screw mounting hole for a perfectly centered 7/64" pilot hole.

• 8654 is for a Tectus 640 3D hinge - 32mm wide x 240mm long shallow mortise.
• Requires a 1/2" solid carbide upcut spiral bit with a 2" cut length (PN 15410 or equivalent) and a 3/4" OD bushing (our PN 5032K or equivalent, sold separately) to cut the mortises.  If using your own bushing, make sure the nose isn't over 3/8" long.
• Hinge setback of 4 mm is built-in.
• Jig clamps to the work (no nail holes) and, using your plunge router, both the long/shallow and short/deep mortises are cut without moving the jig or part. Has two retractable stops for the short/deep mortise.
