DIABLO 1/2 in. x 5/16 in. Carbide Hinge Mortising Router Bit

this product worked great except the guide bearing didn’t work with my hinge mortising guide. So I had to guide it myself.

Excellent tool and delivery

Diablo everything always has the best cutting quality. Used this bit with a cheap Ryobi router and it did the job no problem.

Works great mortizing hinges in the new doors.

Purchased in store to replace a worn bit enclosed in a Porter Cable hinge template kit. It worked like a charm. Cut hinges for 7 doors and still sharp as new. It is pricey… but works as expected and will be ready to cut whenever I need it.

Worked well as expected.

Great product

Solid bit but my one frustration was that the bearing was not flush with the end of the bit. In other words, you have to cut your template slightly larger than the intended inlay.

Sharp and quick

I’ve been using a HSS mortising bit for door hinge mortising template and they wouldn’t last long especially on some mahogany wood doors and some unknown species would cause a HSS bit to burn right away. after doing several hinge mortising ,this bit seems to be just as sharp as new.
