Hinge Mortising Systems - multiple hinges, adjustable mortises

Several manufacturers make them. The one I use most is a Milwaukee. It (and I believe most other brands) is adjustable for hinge size and door thickness and height but will only do 3 hinges at a time. There may be a 4 hinge version or you may be able to buy another section (rod and template) since they just thumbscrew together. When I need 4 hinges I just set it up for the top three and then measure and slide the whole thing down for the fourth. If you need the 4 hinge version and can't find one, your dealer might be able to get the proper parts or you could buy 2 sets and combine them. That's assuming your model will easily allow you to add another section. I think most will.

I have the bosch rig and it is very good. the four hinge setup is an accessory package that comes with 1 hinge jig and a set of shorter conecting rods. they are 2 piece rods that make it posible to get nearly any configuration you want. what i usualy do is just screw the four templates to a piece of ceiling grid instead of setting up the rails. its quicker for me because i have to take down and set up fairly often. YMMV. :->

Thanks for the replies. I'm going to try and find someplace to take a look at the Bosch, as I like the fact that it is "made" for a 4 hinge set-up. I'll check out the Milwaukee too.

the Milwaukee is a good jig too. its almost identical to the bosch.
