Ultra-Shear Carbide-Tipped Hinge Mortising Bits cut mortises for hinges (and other inlaid hardware) with minimal fuss and professional results. Three sizes – 1/2", 3/4" and 1-1/4" – deliver one-pass cuts on everything from entry doors to jewelry boxes.
Each size is available with or without a bearing. If you're using a door jig system that relies on template guide bushings, choose the bits without bearings and continue using the guide bushings you already have.
If you don’t have a commercial template system, the bearing-guided bits simplify the process by eliminating the offset calculations required with guide bushings. Just make a simple shop-built template that exactly matches the hardware you’re installing. The bearing follows the template. The cutter mirrors the bearing. The mortise fits.
