Anyone use these before? http://www.houseoftools.com/product.htm?pid=14368
I am thinking about buying a set and giving them a try. Got a biscuit saw for X-mas. Seems like a nice way to handle flush doors in face frames. I think these would look nice opposite some simple pulls.
Speaking of which, how do you figure the gap on the opening side? Do you match the gap on the hinge side and bevel the edge of the door, or do you give it enough gap to swing without the bevel?

Jim,
I've never tried these but have been curious since I saw Norm use them. I believe you cut both sides simultaneously.....with one plunge motion. Therefore, the gap is set automatically with the depth of the cutter head.
Iagree that the kerf of the cutter is what "mortices" for the hinge. However, it would seem that the gap from the face frame to the "hinge stile" coulde be zero and they'd still work.
The other part of my question was just a general Q about the proper way to gap and/or trim the opposite FF to stile gap.
I guess they are still pretty new around here.
Thanks for the reply. I think this is the second time I've asked this question. Hopefully someone has tried them.Steelkilt Lives!
Lamello makes some and you can buy them direct from Colonial Saw in Ontario, Calif. They are an authorized distributer for Lamello. That's probably where the outfit you mentioned is buying them from.
