 love the concept December 12, 2007

I am really excited about this template... and pretty dissappointed too. Our trade is finish carpentry and we do a lot of high end custom doors. This was the completion of our full mortice machine (nothing else like it for morticing full mortice lock boxes 5* for sure).
We have two substantial problems with this template:
1- as we tighten the clamps to the door, the teeth do not stay parallel. They actually open up and push the template away from the door (and not consistantly), giving us up to 1/16 gap at times between the door and the template. This makes precise depth control very difficult.
2- There is a little bit of wiggle and play in the bottom of the adjustable template. Where the router makes contact with the template at the bottom of the mortice, there is more than 1/16" wiggle because it only has contact on one side. Again, for precision, this is unacceptable.
We used the template on 3 doors and are now sending it to a local machine shop to see if there is anything "fixable" with this.
Like I said at the top, I love the concept. No more nail/screw holes to hold homemade templates to the door, and no need to carry templates for each strike... Hopefully it is salvagable.

These are a standard in the industry. I have used them for many years and found them to be durable and easy to service. If you nick the guides simply replace them.
