I was watching a repeat of T.O.H. today and I saw the Finish Carpenter/Cabinetmaker use a jig to drill the 35mm (1 3/8") hole for the cup with a cordless drill perfectly. I have not seen this jig before, and haven't been able to find it with Google. The jig has two parts; The part you hold on the door, the base, is about 6" square with a 4" (or so) ring about an inch tall. It also has an edge guide and center index marks. The part with the bit has a ring that fits inside the ring on the base. The bit may have to be part of the jig because it slides in a bushing keeping it 90* to the door. There is also a depth stop and a spring to push the guide back out.
This is a tool that would make choosing the advantages of European Hinges over semi-concealed or butt hinges a lot more user friendly in the field. I would definitely like to have one in my bag of tricks.
If anyone has, or knows of this jig could you please post a link, picture, review, ect.?
