My old jig of the same brand was getting a bit worn out.I needed a new one. It works very well for mortising hinges on door frames.

Set up was easy, try it on scrap piece first………the door thickness setting needs to be more accurated

Had nine doors to put hinges on. Practiced on one of the doors l was getting rid of. Bought doors with handle holes and made a round plug to line up the old with the new door. Transfered the hinge location, mounted the gage and cut out the hinge pocket. Came out right 27 times.

The jig works well made cutting the hinges easy. The router bit did not stand-up the cutting of the hinges. It dulled and burned.
