    Have decided to start fitting the kitchen door to new integrated washing machines I sell to customers. I’ve always told them to get a kitchen fitter to sort it in the past but am being offered decent money to do it. I did two years as a cabinet maker when I was a kid and used a pillar attachment on a drill with a stop to cut hinges then.

    Is there a jig out there or is it a case of just making one and clamping it on?

    Thanks
    Dave

    Yes ive purchased one for the same reason. Its one you can use with a freehand drill. No doubt there are others. It was over £100 but worth it. Mine is made by Veritas in Canada. See http://www.veritastools.com
    I was also looking into buying a length of 35mm dowel from B&Q for filling in the original holes when one overlaps the other. A long length is about £12 to £13 or so.
    Definitely worth doing. Currys charge £90 to fit Integrated washing machine.

    Genius idea on the 35 mm dowel ,We use ronseal two part wood filler,but it takes 30 mins to cure properly,will definitely try the dowel method.

    I use a router with the plunge stop. If you use the guide as well you can set the distance from the edge.
    Same here with dowel and wood glue, works a treat.
