USAGE
The SOSS Hinge Jig has the correct setback built-in to it for your SOSS
hinge. Always index the face of the work against the Double Track and an edge
of the work against the underside of the Hinge Jig. The center of the Hinge
Jig is 3-7/8" from each end. Use this measurement to where the hinge
mortise will be cut. Clamp the work/Double Track together in
a vise,
or clamp the work in a vise and use bar clamps to
clamp the Double Track/SOSS Hinge Jig to the work.
After installing the bushing and
bit in your plunge router, set the
bushing in the opening in the
Hinge Jig. Plunge the bit down
until it just touches the edge of
the work and lock it in place.
CUT THE LONG/SHALLOW MORTISE FIRST
Place the mounting flange of the SOSS
hinge between the turret and the stop rod to
set the plunge depth for the long/shallow
mortise of the SOSS hinge mounting flange.
Slide the One Tracks out until they are
no longer visible in the Hinge Jig opening,
tighten the screws and cut the long/shallow
mortise using a clockwise cutting path..
The debris generated during cutting
will interfere with the bushing travel
in the Hinge Jig. Clean out the debris
between passes, making as many passes
as needed, until the cut is complete.
