Amazing Product Can't beat the price.
Amazing product works great and easy set up.Can't beat the cost, if you were to buy the router bit that comes with ityou would spend more than the amount for the whole unit.

MilesCraft makes products that make amateurs into professionals.
I just can’t get enough of the jigs and especially the tracksaw guide from this company. I am a slightly above average woodworker and the accessories I have purchased from MilesCraft has taken my woodworking game to a whole new level.

Consider making your own jig.
This jig arrived promptly and was complete (no missing parts). I was disappointed for two reasons. I could not find a way to adjust the depth of the routed area. This jig leaves 1/4" of unrouted area at the hinge's side. If you're happy with 1/4", no problem. If you want some other value, it is not easy to achieve. Second, it requires a VERY light amount of torque when fastening in place. More than a VERY light amount of torque causes the face of the jig to bow, and the bowing in turn, changes the depth of the router bit. Ended up making my own jig, which was surprisingly easy after watching two or three online videos. I did like and use the router bit that was included with this jig. That bit worked very well.

I used it for door hinges and had no issues adjusting the router to the jig.
Lots of parts. Easy to assemble and use.

Great for DIY
Great value and it worked really well for the 3 doors I needed to do. I wish the whole thing was a little more rigid. If you tighten the clamps too far then the whole thing tips a little on the door and you don't get an even depth. As long as you follow the instructions and don't over tighten it works great.If you have a lot of doors to do I'd get something better quality. But for a DIY person like me this is exactly what I expected and needed.

It works great
Love it. I have done many doors with it now. It took a little bit to understand how to use it. But has been great.

Best tool you will ever spend $20 or less on. Saved a ton of time.
Let me start by saying, if you are doing hinges and or latches on doors, this product was awesome. Easy to set up, adjust and use. I routed 18 door hinges and 6 door latches in less than an hour. Keep in mind I'm not a carpenter just a diy'er/homeowner putting new solid wood doors in the house.
