Abstract
A tool or hinge positioning jig for creating hinge mortises including a hinge jaw having an hinge jaw first portion opposite and substantially parallel to an hinge jaw second portion, and an exterior first surface facing opposite an exterior second surface wherein at least one of the exterior first surface or the exterior second surface is laterally adjustably coupled to the hinge jaw, and wherein the hinge jaw first portion and hinge jaw second portion are capable of being aligned with first and second hinge edges, respectively, and the exterior first surface and exterior second surface are capable of being aligned with first and second workpiece edges, respectively.
Claims16
A device for setting up a router to mortise a hinge on a box and corresponding lid, the device comprising:
- a first elbow slidably connected to a central block, the first elbow comprising a first outside face, the central block comprising a first inside face parallel to the first outside face,
- a second elbow slidably connected to the central block, the second elbow comprising a second outside face parallel to the first outside face, the first elbow and the second elbow are slidingly adjustable relative to the central block to create a first distance between the first and second outside faces establishing an outer width, wherein the outer width can be adjusted to match a width of the box, and
- a hinge jaw slidably connected to the central block, the hinge jaw comprising a second inside face parallel to the first inside face, the hinge jaw is slidingly adjustable relative to the central block to create a second distance between the first and second inside faces establishing an inner width, wherein the inner width can be adjusted to match a width of a hinge.
A device for adjusting a table router for mortising for a hinge, the device comprising:
- a first slidable connection between a first elbow and a central block and
- a second slidable connection between a second elbow and the central block, wherein the distance between a first outside face of the first elbow and a second outside face of the second elbow can be adjusted to match a width of a box, and
- a third slidable connection between a hinge jaw and the central block, wherein a distance between a first inside face of the central block and a second inside face of the hinge jaw can be adjusted to match a width of a hinge.
