Router guide jig for hinge and strike plate installation

A router guide jig comprising:

• at least one clamp member having a clamp abutment surface;
• a frame assembly comprising:
• a support member having a receiving opening extending through the support member defining a first axis;
• a first leg extending downward from the support member and offset at least in part from the receiving opening;
• a second leg carrying the at least one clamp with the clamp abutment surface facing away from the second leg, the at least one clamp member adjustable relative to the second leg to adjust a clamping force provided by the at least one clamp member, the second leg being mountable:
• in a first configuration to the support member in a downward extending orientation, the second leg being spaced apart from the first leg in the first configuration for a first gap therebetween, with a portion of the receiving opening positioned between the first and second legs, the clamp abutment surface facing the first leg in the first configuration such that a workpiece is clamped between the first and second legs;
• and
• in a second configuration to the first leg, the second leg being spaced apart from the support member in the second configuration, the clamp abutment surface facing the support member in the second configuration such that a workpiece is clamped between the second leg and the support member.

A router guide jig comprising:

• a frame assembly comprising a support member having a receiving opening extending through the support member defining a first axis, the frame assembly defining a top support surface, the support member including at least first and second mounting features being axially spaced apart;
• a divider mountable to the mounting features of the frame assembly with the divider being within the receiving opening, the divider dividing the receiving opening into at least a first region and a second region, the divider having a first divider mounting feature,
• when the first divider mounting feature of the divider is mounted to the first mounting feature, the first region has a first cross-sectional area and the second region has a second cross-sectional area,
• when the divider mounting feature of the divider is mounted to the second mounting feature, the first region has a third cross-sectional area larger than the first cross-sectional area and the second region has a fourth cross-sectional area smaller than the second cross-sectional area;
• and
• a template defining a template opening therethrough defining a template axis, the template removably mountable to the top support surface with the template axis parallel to the first axis and the receiving opening in communication with template opening, the template including first and second template mounting features that engage the first and second mounting features of the support member when the template is mounted to the support member and the divider is removed from the support member.

A router guide jig comprising:

• a frame assembly comprising a support member having a receiving opening extending through the support member defining a first axis, the receiving opening being generally rectangular having a first side, a second side and a third side extending perpendicular to and between the first and second sides defining a first corner with the first side and a second corner with the second side, the first corner having a radius of curvature that is smaller than a radius of curvature of the second corner;
• wherein the first corner is substantially a square corner;
• further comprising a divider mountable within the receiving opening, a first side of the divider forming a third corner with the third side, the third corner being a radiused corner having a radius of curvature equal to the second radius of curvature;
• a second side of the divider forming a further corner with the third side, the fourth corner being a square corner having a radius of curvature equal to the first radius of curvature;
• and
• wherein the first and second corners are permanently formed by the support member and the radiused portion of the third corner is provided by the divider.
