3. การตั้งค่า

Proper setup of the hinge template kit is crucial for accurate mortising. Follow these steps to prepare the template for use:

1. Assemble Rails: Connect the appropriate short or long steel rails to the metal hinge templates using the provided thumb screws. The configuration depends on the door height (3 hinges for 6-7 ft doors, 4 hinges for 7-8 ft doors).
2. Adjust Hinge Templates: Each metal hinge template has adjustable mechanisms to set the mortise size. Adjust these to match the exact dimensions of your hinges (3-inch to 6-inch in 1/2-inch increments).
3. Set End Gauges: Attach the end gauges to the template assembly. These gauges help position the template accurately on the door or frame, ensuring consistent spacing from the top and bottom edges.
4. Secure Template to Workpiece: Place the assembled template onto the edge of the door or door frame. Use the spring-loaded nails or clamps (not included) to secure the template firmly. Ensure the template is flush and does not shift.
5. Install Router Bit and Guide: Install the carbide-tipped router bit and template guide into your router according to your router's instructions. Ensure the lock nut is tightened securely.

4. คู่มือการใช้งาน

Once the template is securely set up, proceed with routing the hinge mortises:

1. Set Router Depth: Adjust your router's depth setting to match the thickness of your hinge leaf. Test on a scrap piece of wood if unsure.
2. Begin Routing: With the router powered on, carefully lower the router onto the template. Guide the router's template guide along the inner edges of the hinge template. Move the router smoothly to remove material within the template opening.
3. Complete Mortise: Ensure all material within the template is removed to the set depth. Avoid forcing the router.
4. Repeat for all Hinges: Once one mortise is complete, lift the router, move to the next hinge template, and repeat the routing process.
5. Remove Template: After all mortises are routed, disconnect power from the router. Carefully remove the template assembly from the door or frame.
6. Finish Corners: Use the included corner chisel to square off the rounded corners of the mortises, if required by your hinges.

6 การแก้ไขปัญหา

This section addresses common issues that may arise during the use of the hinge template kit.

• Inaccurate Mortise Depth:
  • Verify the router's depth setting is correctly calibrated to the hinge thickness.
  • Ensure the router base is flat against the template during routing.
• Mortise is Too Large or Too Small:
  • Check that the hinge template adjustments are set precisely to the hinge dimensions.
  • Confirm the correct router bit and template guide combination is being used.
• Template Shifts During Routing:
  • Ensure the spring-loaded nails are fully engaged or that clamps are securely holding the template to the workpiece.
  • Verify the workpiece is stable and not moving.
• Rough or Uneven Mortise Edges:
  • Use a sharp router bit. Dull bits can tear wood fibers.
  • Maintain a consistent feed rate with the router; avoid rushing or stopping abruptly.
  • Ensure the template guide is clean and moves smoothly along the template edges.
