Enhanced SEO-Optimized Door Hinge Template: PORTER CABLE 59370 Review

I bought one of these a few years ago but ordered this as a replacement as my teeth were so worn. I bought a replacement kit because I don't use it very often and the kit was cheaper than buying a new bit separately. I've just used a new kit to cut the frame grooves for a door and that's about all I had in mind anyway. The device is not much different from my old one, it is quite easy to use and works well. The bat already shows burn marks. I definitely got more use out of the old beat. I…

Overall I like the Porter Cable Loop jig. Using a Bosch plunge router I was able to easily cut the grooves for the front door that I was installing. I was planning on making my own template but when I saw how cheap a ready made template was I said why bother? Now for what's included, it's junk. Pretty sure the cutting edges are cast iron. Well, not quite, but they got boring very quickly. So fast I'm not even sure if it's tool steel. And hard metal is out of the question. As a result, the…

Complete rubbish and so disappointed. I'm making a door frame and jamb out of solid walnut and thought this template would help. First problem: It comes with a templating bit. It's totally useless.

I figured if I was doing flat passes I could use them on the walnut and practiced on that. Even on flat runs, it smoked a bit and barely did its job on a single…

"Quick and Dirty " Homeowner or a homeowner who needs to make a door. This is NOT for professional results. This light has design flaws that will leave you with disappointing results. It's made of plastic, which means the back of the template, which is mounted to a door or post, will flex when you pass the router over the back. Unfortunately, if Porter Cable had taken the time to design this product, they could have solved (or at least improved) this problem by adding a horizontal rib to…

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…
