Review on Enhanced SEO-Optimized Door Hinge Template: PORTER CABLE 59370 by Robert Pearson

Hello Kitty fan? This might be something for you

When I looked at this product and considered buying it I thought to myself since it's plastic how not to damage it? I'm still surprised about that today. On the positive side, the device is made of very durable plastic. This is"purity"? I don't know, but I registered the device in the appropriate category. However, plastic doesn't mind a regular Dremel with an official cutter. On the very first hinge of the mortise lock, I dug straight into the plastic and turned the hinge template over. I had to do 6 so I wondered if the device could ever survive. Then I made a tuck-in loop that looked like Hello Kitty. Maybe my daughter will be happy about it - I don't know. After that I cut a piece of galvanized spacer and put it in the slot of the device to protect the device from the router. This gave me a decent power-on loop, but the next time the router caught the flash and threw it across the room like befitting a movie about the final destination. , I spent some time and cut off a much better fitting piece of firmware and the problem didn't come back. But lots of nice sparks! Now Dremel makes a great lightweight router. Nothing bad to say about it. If I had to do it again I would enlarge the hinge in the unit and use the manual that came with the Dremel router. The guide would probably protect the loop pattern device somewhat, but it would reduce the engraving of the loop. Speaking of which, as others have noted, the loop pattern on this device appears to be a bit too large for the advertised size. . See photo. Double-headed nail pens are awesome though. I would like to repeat the comments that the device needs a bag or case for it. I don't remember where any of them are, and it doesn't matter. I have 6 decent hinge prints that don't look like cartoon characters with a little paint and maybe some cheap white caulk. In the worst case – who notices, right? (I will, that's who.)

Pros
  • Quick and easy installation with locking pins for safety
Cons
  • unreliable
