Our two-step Tectus Hinge Template is 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, they measure 5-5/8" x 7-3/4" for maximum router support. Includes an 8" Double Track for mounting the jig and clamping to your work. Clamps not included.  Optional 4512 Flip Stop mounts on an optional 4016 16" Double Track (minimum length recommended) for quicker part indexing. Allows setting the stop up to 6" from the hinge mortise, with a spacer required for short distances. We recommend two Flip Stops, one for each side of the jig. Optional longer Double Tracks (up to 95" - 4095) available to mount multiple two-step Hinge Jigs and Flip Stops.  Optional 6507 Self-Centering Drill centers itself in the invisible hinge screw mounting hole for a perfectly centered 7/64" pilot hole.

• 8652 Tectus Hinge Template is for a 340 3D hinge - 28mm wide x 131mm long shallow mortise.
• Requires a 1/2" solid carbide upcut spiral bit with a 1-1/2" cut length (15409 or equivalent, sold separately) and a 3/4" Bushing & Locknut (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 is built-in according to the manufacturers specs.
• 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.
