I have been working on the "FOREVER PLAYHOUSES" and the latest is making doors and casings. I figured I would make a jig to mortise out the hinges with the router, but the problem I have is the router bit. I thought I had a pattern bit with a 1/2 inch cutter height, but I didn't. I had one with a 3/4 inch cutter height so that means I would need a template greater than 3/4" thick. I did have an "offset pattern bit" that was shorter, but like I said, it is offset so I have to go around and chisel it out. I believe this bit is meant to work with the Porter Cable door hinge template, and quite frankly, it sucks bad. I had to run the router at the slowest speed and be very light with cutting to keep it from burning and it was only 3/32" deep.
So, what do you use, where did you get it, and do you like it?
