Hi Bob,
Just ordered mine from Woodpeckers. Since I don't have the bull nose bits, I ordered those as well. Can't wait til it arrives.

Hi Ken

That's great , some one told me that Grizzly had them for 59.oo bucks..

http://grizzly.com/products/INCRA-Hingecrafter/T20533

When you get it , post a note and I will tell you how to upgrade it

By the way the 12" bit is a much better bit than the 6" one that come with it.

Here's a funny one,,I order the 12" bit from Woodpecker and it was on back order , so when the UPS guy dropped it off I looked in the box and all I could see was some 1/8" brass rod 12" long ,,,

I made a call and she said we show ONE in stock and I said you must have TWO becuase I didn't get the one I ordered and she aid pls. hold and I will check,she said you'er right we have two

and they reshipped it from stock, had in 3 days.. great service

Since the only bull nose I have is the OP 1", I decided to get their set, also figured with shipping from Grizzly, I'd prolly spend just as much as I did with Woodpeckers. To be honest, I was lazy just wanted to do one click ordering.

I'll have to see about getting the 12" bit a little later on, once I get the hang of the jig.

I'll be givin ya a shout out when I get it.

Welp, as promised, I get home today from work and what do I see.... I finally got my Incra Hingecrafter today.

Hopefully within the next few weekends, (weather provided), will do some... "play-time".

Hi Ken

This has been running around in my head for a week or two and I said I think I will ask to see if you got it done.. ? and see if you got a picture or two to post.

Hi Bob,

Unfortunetly no I haven't. Been a little under the weather.

It is sitting on top of the router table though.

I'm hoping within the next few weeks I'll be able to have some play time with it. I'll post some pics once I'm able to do something with it.

Bob, I tried to do a few hinges today. I got the "barrels" down ok. I'm having trouble cutting the "notches" out. The knuckles keep getting "ripped off".

I've got some 3/4 Oak, haven't tried it yet. The only problem using 3/4 is, OP's standard plate, the opening isn't large enough. Have to switch it out with the plate used for the panel bit(s). Also, don't have a way to cut the barrels unless I use the TS with a dado blade.

You got any idea's of what I'm doing wrong or what I need to do?

**bobj3** · 02-23-2008, 05:43 PM

Hi Ken

You can use 3/4" Oak ,you didn't say what size of hinges you are making, I would suggest you start off with a 3/8" or 1/2" barrels ,,,

Note the way the grain is running in the links below,,it's a big part of the hinge...plus it needs to be milled down to 1/2 the size of the barrel, see the other link for that.. ( just under 1/2 the size of the barrel , by 1/16" max) 1/2" barrel, the flat part (strap) would be .245 thick..) this is a must so the hinge can close all the way...

I started out with 3/8 then tried 1/2. After looking very carefully at both links, I think I see what I did wrong. I'll try again later this evening or tomorrow.
Thanks.
