Woodhaven 8661: SOSS 101 Hinge Jig - Manual (Page 2)

USAGE
The SOSS Hinge Jig has the correct setback for your SOSS hinge
built-in. Always index the face of the work against the Double Track
and an edge against the underside of the Hinge Jig. The center of the
Hinge Jig is 3-7/8" from each end. Use this measurement to index your
work along the Double Track and locate where the hinge mortise will
be cut. Clamp the work/Double Track together in a vise. See fig. 2
After installing the bushing and bit in your plunge router, set
the bushing in the opening in the Hinge Jig, plunge the bit down until
it touches the work edge and lock it in place. If your router has a
multiple depth turret, turn it to the highest stop. Place the mounting
portion of the hinge body between the top of the stop and the bottom
of the stop rod. Adjust the stop rod so it's resting on the hinge body
to set the plunge depth for the shallow/long mortise. See fig. 3A.
For the deep/short mortise, measure the thickness of the main
hinge body and add approximately 1/16". If you have a low adjustable
stop on the turret, turn the turret to it and, without moving the stop
rod, adjust the distance between the adjustable stop and stop rod
for the deep/short mortise depth. If you don't have an adjustable
stop, turn the turret to a fixed lower stop that will provide the
minimum depth required for the deep/short mortise. See fig. 3B.
The debris generated during mortising can interfere with the
bushing travel in the Hinge Jig. Make as many passes as needed,
cleaning out the debris between passes, until the mortise is complete.
Cut the long/shallow mortise first. Adjust the turret
to the shallow setting. Slide the One Tracks out until they
are no longer visible in the Hinge Jig opening, tighten the
screws and cut the long/shallow mortise. See fig. 4.
Cut the short/deep mortise last. Adjust the turret to
the deep setting. Loosen the two One Tracks and push them
under the Hinge Jig until they bottom out and are visible in
the Hinge Jig opening, tighten the screws and cut the short/
deep mortise in incremental passes. For best results, you should
not cut deeper than the bit diameter in each pass. See fig. 5.
ACCESSORIES
Optional 4512 Flip Stop mounts on a 4016 16" Double Track
(minimum length recommended) for quicker part indexing and allows
setting the stop up to 6" from the hinge mortise, with a spacer required for
distances less than 4-1/4". We recommended two Flip Stops, one for each
side of the jig. Optional longer Double Tracks available to mount multiple
jigs & stops. Optional Self-Centering drill (6507 or 6509) centers itself in the
hinge screw mounting hole for a perfectly centered pilot hole. See fig. 6.
