Hinge Mortising Jig

Cutting perfect mortises for a hinge can be a challenge. A poorly fit hinge not only looks bad, but can affect how well a door or lid opens and closes.

Used with your trim router, our hinge mortising jig woodworking plan provides an ideal solution for creating quick, clean, and accurate hinge mortises—first time and every time. Flexible design handles hinges as small as 3/4", or as large as 3-1/8". Plan includes step-by-step instructions for building the jig plus our shop tips for cutting hinge mortises. This project plan appeared in ShopNotes magazine No.74.
