   Blum Jig

   Dave,

   I had the same problem about 2 years ago and after looking at all of the jigs out there, I bought the Blum clamp on jig.

   It is made from Alum and is the cat's ass to work with. 

   It was $350.00 Can but will last a lifetime.

   Good Hunting,

   Vance

   re boring jigs....for euro hinges

   Any jug, buy the time your add in costs for bits etc is gonna run just over 200 bucks. but that was a few years back

   But the blum jig is the fastest and bestest o f the bunch...

   350$ is way too much fr this item. it should be closer to the 200$ mark. available through richelieu.com

   My only comment on this item, besides it being the bestest, fastest, and easiest (I got  a box of the others just sitting there rusting)is that I did have to bore a hole for my shop vac so I didn't have to clean out the innards of shavings each time.

   takes 2 minutes, and makes it even faster and easier and less messier

   bestest, fastest, more durablest, most portable and utiiitarian. To me it's a no brainer. but not at 350...

   I did a remodel of my photography studio several years ago. I only needed about a dozen doors with Euro Hinges. So I Bought this $40 jig.

     If I had to drill these on a regular basis,I'd invest in one of these types of Jigs at around $225:

   Rockler Jig

   I've used the Rockler jig on a fair No. of doors and it works Ok for what it is. It wouldn't recommend it if you need to switch from one set back to another as it is difficult to adjust to different settings. And you have to be careful to set the clamp so it will hold firmly , but not so tight that it leaves indentations on the front of your stiles. Like most of the Rockler jigs I own I've had to modify them to get them to work properly. With this one I had to change out the screws to Allen heads and include lock washers to keep the setting from slipping. If your not going to do a lot of doors then this one will work Ok, but if your planning on using it a lot then go for the Blum one.
