CAV Precision Hinge Plate Mounting Jig with Rotating Bearing Guides
CAV Precision Hinge Plate Mounting Jig with Rotating Bearing Guides Take the guesswork out of hinge plate installation with the CAV Precision Hinge Plate Mounting Jig. Designed and manufactured in the UK by CAV Joinery, this innovative jig combines precision, speed and durability to help you achieve accurate, repeatable results every time. Unlike traditional hinge jigs that use fixed guide bushes, the CAV Precision Hinge Plate Mounting Jig features rotating bearing guides that rotate together with the drill bit. This reduces friction, helps minimise drill bit wear, reduces the chance of the drill bit grabbing or kicking back, and provides a smoother drilling experience. Suitable for professional installers, cabinet makers, joiners and DIY users, the jig is compatible with all common cabinet material thicknesses and is designed around the standard 32mm cabinet system. Features ✔ Rotating Bearing Guides Precision ball bearings rotate together with the drill bit, helping to: Reduce friction Extend drill bit life Reduce drill bit grabbing and kickback Provide smoother, more controlled drilling ✔ 32mm Cabinet System Compatible Includes the standard hinge plate drilling positions: 37mm 57mm 77mm Perfect for accurately positioning cabinet hinge plates. ✔ Built-in Door Offset Setup Blocks The front of the jig incorporates 18mm and 20mm setup blocks that act as built-in spacers when positioning cabinet side panels. 18mm Block – Use when fitting 16mm doors (16mm door + 2mm hinge clearance). 20mm Block – Use when fitting 18mm doors (18mm door + 2mm hinge clearance). No separate spacer blocks or repeated measuring required. ✔ Suitable for All Common Cabinet Thicknesses Designed to work with all common cabinet panel thicknesses, making it ideal for a wide range of furniture installations. ✔ Dust Escape Channel The open underside allows drilling dust and chips to escape freely instead of building up inside the guide holes. This helps keep drilling smooth and reduces unnecessary wear on the drill bit. ✔ Stable During Drilling Integrated support pads help keep the jig securely positioned on the cabinet while protecting the workpiece from scratches. ✔ Precision 3D Printed Construction Manufactured using high-quality engineering-grade material for excellent strength, accuracy and durability. ✔ Easy-to-Read Reference Markings Clearly printed position markings make setup quick and repeatable.
