There is not a better tool than one designed by the person who actually knows what he wants from it. And this looks like an excellent piece of kit.

[robertgreen]

Just ordered mine i have been waiting for something like this to come on the market and british made what a great peace of kit.

[Ianfx]

Thats a really good price. I like that you told us about small problems like start at bottom of gig to avoid dust . Great tips.

I have now received my jig which arrived very quickly. I have now used my jig on six doors and the results are superb, as accurate as a CNC machine but I did have one niggle. The knurled knob that tightens the blocks to the rail. A couple were stiff to turn which resulted in them moving slightly when I stood the jig up after use. I had to be very careful not to knock it in anyway. As I mentioned in my previous post I did drill through the extrusion to secure the jig to the door lining and it was covered by the door stops so it would be nice if the holes were already there but it was a simple job to drill them myself.

A lot of thought as gone in to that design, especially like the built in clamps for attaching to the door and that you are making it in the UK.❤

Interesting listening to two masters conversation about this jig.

I’m an apprentice carpenter I’ve invested in the roofing square and it’s absolutely amazing makes life a hell of a lot easier will be investing in the hinge jig for sure wouldn’t of seen it without skill builder Channel cheers guys

[vincentshield]

Bought this jig after buying dans essential roofing square, both fantastic bits of kit, extremely well made, you get what you pay for, only got one very small critique, do the grub screws up tight, they drop out if you don’t, but you get spare grub screws when you buy the jig, they have also added a 3 mm spacer for the head that comes with the jig, well done dan 👍

Given the flexibility of the design, and the quality of bench dogs kit, £220 is a steal.

Beautifully made piece of kit, well thought out and made in the uk. I think like you say once it’s set up(10 minutes) and bang it’s off 👏👏

[RpR_Makes]

Good luck to you Dan, you deserve it for all the hard work, dedication and passion you show for your craft. I will buy one

[BennyDoherty]

Well done Dan great jig👍 it’s good to see something that’s better than the competition and at a competitive price too

[thetallcarpenter]

This new jig looks really cool Dan, and I can think of many reasons to buy one🤔particularly the way it self clamps, its super easy hinge apeture setting and, of course, being made in Great Britain👍Well done to all involved in its design and manufacture👌

[mikeswoodencreations]

Looks good Dan, I like how you’ve included slight adjustment on the depth of the hinge as this is set on other jigs, nice job!

[burwoodbuild]

Dan…. I have to say you’ve absolutely smashed it mate! This jig is genius with some really smart ideas that my Trend jig doesn’t have. And getting Benchdogs involved was a master stroke!👌🏼🥹

[TheToolJunkies]

Awesome video boys! I’ll be using mine this week and I can’t wait!

[raybrock]

Just ordered mine. I will be looking to see if I can drill through the extrusion to secure it to the door frame so that the screw holes end up behind the door stops when they are fitted.

[multiworx]

Maybe put a few holes in the main rails so the screws are hidden in behind the doorstops. Great content as always guys.

[rickygreenslade]

Fantastic piece of kit.. looks well thought out and id say thats well worth the money...

[cglees]

Looks brilliant, I want one!!
Pays for itself on the first job easily
