HINGE BORING BIT 35MM TITANIUM COATED

A hinge bore is required if you need to use cup shaped euro hinges for a
wooden cupboard door.

How to use the Hinge bore bit:

The radius of the hinge bore is 17.5mm and it is also the centre point distance. It
would be safe to have a 4-5mm shoulder from the side of the cupboard door. So
the distance from the edge
to start boring is 17.5+4.5=22mm.

It is critical to bore the correct depth.
Most cupboard doors vary in thickness from 16-22mm. The standard depth to bore is 13mm for most euro hinges.

Sharpening:

Hardwoods require a slow speed when boring. The hinge bore can easily be
sharpened using a diamond file. Click

TIP:
Use a drill press, it is easier to control the correct depth adjustment. It is
also possible to make a jig for future hinge boring.
