TOOL REVIEW - How To Use The Kreg Concealed Hinge Jig

what's up guys I'm Nick and this is bill dead bill a place where we know that a jig is more than just a fun little dance to do okay guys this video is gonna be a little different than my normal videos I'm not gonna light anything on the fire there probably won't be any whiskey but I felt the need to share this with you because recently I picked up a Craig concealed hinge dig at workbench con 2020 and I've never used one of these before I just put some doors on a college shelf you can watch that video right here if you want to see things get burnt and might be over here I can't remember you're gonna see things get burnt and attacked with an angle grinder and all that good stuff but I wanted to just do a quick walkthrough of this jig and how easy it is to use normally I'd say something stupid the beauty of this jig is its simplicity or so you've got the adjustments for distance from the edge of the shelf you can usually find these in the instructions with the with the hinges and our cases are over five millimeters so we're gonna adjust these and actually have the guide that just clicks into the jig and what this does is this keeps the Forstner bit centered you got a fork TripIt that comes with it this is a 35 millimeter for four bit and a depth stop collar some I understand me ters is the average size for concealed hinges but the way this thing is designed it looks like if you put a different portion of it in there as long as the shaft wait for it as long as the shaft fits inside the guy okay so having read the instructions that came with the hinges I know that I need to be five millimeters off the side of the door so the depth can be set here with just a screwdriver positive stop positive stop one more there we go OOP there we go positive stop don't mind the missing chunk of my workbench what I'm gonna do as I'm holding this at the edge of the piece I'm gonna drop this down I'm gonna get my tape measure in there my measure half-inch and then I'm gonna lock the collar in place now that def doesn't have to be perfect it just has to be deep enough that the whole hinge will go in there if it's a little too deep you'll be all right there is use the depths offices you don't punch through the front of the cabinet tool so this is the mock-up of our cabinet and our cabinet door but I'm just gonna line this up with the edge of the door so that's gonna put the hinge like four inches in that may vary depending on what size of door you're using but for this example we're just gonna reference off the edge of the jig it's just to keep it in place I'm gonna clamp it down lock the bit into the drill turn up that and work baby and then you drill then [Music] before you unclamp the jig you want to take the guide off and then even a comeback and these two holes are the holes for the hinges you're just gonna drill this out with a sixteenth inch a bit and that's that that is that easy to put one of these hinges on now you're just gonna drop it screw it in attached to your cabinet face this next part doesn't have all that to do with the jig but I figured since we're putting hinges in I would just finish them so your hinges should come with like some sort of template it looks like this for placement of the hinges so I just lined this up with the center of this hole and then punched my holes out and then we're just going to go ahead and drop this in [Music] [Music] and just like that you've got a door baby check that out so I know it's right not the easiest to see because this is not a full-on door but just pops right open pretty cool huh easy peasy lemon queen easy baby okay guys like I said just a quick video just wanted to kind of show that off super easy super intuitive to use I will link to the product down below it is called the Craig concealed hinge gig until next time I actually really have to get back to work take it easy super easy super intuitive to use I will link to the actual product down below it is called the IKEA IKEA easy peasy lemon MF and squeezy
