Hinge Mortise Router Guide

thingiverse

Here is a template for cutting 3-1/2 inch mortises for door hinges with 5/8-inch radius corners using a router with a 1/2-inch top-bearing bit. The photos should be pretty self-explanatory. I relied on the packaging of my hinges and did not measure them before printing, therefore I had to modify the finished template to make it 90mm long instead of 3-1/2 inches. The SCAD file and the STL account for this; you can adjust scale factors in the SCAD if you like, or of course scale the STL in your slicing software. I always say, "Measure once, cut twice!" That's my motto... Print Settings Printer Brand: RepRap Printer: Prusa Mendel i3 Rafts: No Supports: Yes
