Thanks Sue, agree with you.

I have some really nice Jarrah Glulam panels to make into cabinet doors and I have never installed cabinet hinges before so the Vieko jig looks more like an insurance policy than a luxury to me! Thank, you review was extremely helpful.

I waited until Black Friday and purchased the same hinge jig for $32, shipped. The price was too good to pass up. I can't wait until it is delivered. Looks very promising. Always a pleasure to watch your videos. Thank you!

Great looking shop -- very happy you got it for yourself!

Nice!! I been waiting for new video!! You are the best!!

Really like the hinge boring tool. I’m preparing to do our kitchen remodel and I’m going to get this. I like th clamping of this tool. Great video.

Thank you Dennis, great review like allways!

Thanks for a useful and honest review of these tools.

I have the 600mm T Square, Carpenters Square and Precision Square. For my needs I find them all of excellent quality and utility.

Wonderful video, great options for adding squares at a reasonable price. Thank you for sharing this with us today, stay safe from Henrico County Virginia. Love the happy dancing

I'm sure this morning there was a word of warning here from a gentleman who purchased a Veiko hinge jig which turned out defective. It reminded me of a Veiko pocket hole jig I purchased about a year ago that was defective. I had bought a couple of other Veiko products and I was quite pleased with them. That faulty jig, however, has tarnished my good opinion of Veiko.

Good to see another China Tools episode Dennis. I would love to see a walk around your workshop at some point in the future. It looks fabulous and I’m sure it would make for a great episode!

I just received my jig and there are a few differences from what was reviewed. The Banggood website product listing looks just like what we saw here. Mine was shipped within the USA. Differences: 1. Product model number is still JL35-A2 but it's labelled "ENJOYWOOD" with "VEIKO SERIES" just below it. 2. The mounting holes now include a set for 32MM. 3. The bracket that holds the Forstner bit is now allowed to rotate slightly (maybe 15 degrees or so) in both directions. Don't know why that is. Quality is excellent and the best part is that the price is now $50.

Just ordered a hinge jig. I have to make 11 kitchen kabinet doors and 4 large cabinet doors. So thanks for the info.

Hi Dennis, I was sitting in our caravan whilst on holiday in Scotland and thought to myself "I haven't seen a video from Dennis for a while". I checked on KZread and if by magic there it was waiting for me 😁. I've bought a lot of tools from Banggood since I started watching your recommendations, from Squares to clamps to rulers to cabinet drill guides to digital inclinometers etc. etc. The best items which I use all the time are the two squares you reviewed in episode 7 and I wouldn't be without them. Great new video, and if I was fitting lots of cabinet hinges I would definitely buy one of the hinge jigs 😁. The kitchen you have been making looks amazing from what we have seen, is it for yourself and family or a commission for a customer ? Look forward to your next workshop video 😁. I'm really enjoying our Holiday but look forward to getting back in the workshop at the end of next week. Take care and have fun, but don't get too excited again, none of us are getting any younger 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

The forstnerbit I got with the hingejig is terrible, hopefully it's just bad luck. Also the screws come loose non stop. It's still a very Chinese tool.

The hinge jig tool looks very good to me as your testing has shown. I purchased that miter square you showed in Episode 7. I received it with very minor damage but nothing a few quick swipes with a sanding block could not take care of. I enjoy using it and it has been a nice addition to my collection. I have purchased many of your 5 star recommendations plus a few others I took a chance on and have been more than delighted with them all. Keep up the good work on introducing these tools to your viewers. I appreciate your integrity and now your dancing skills.

Please help me. What kind of sense makes the 68 mm? After my understanding, it doesn't fit in the 32 mm System.

Word of warning. I bought the hinge jig. The bit was blunt and struggled badly on the the first hole. The snap ring which holds the bearing in place scored the drill bit badly because it is poorly sized and protruded in to the opening of the bearing which the drill bit passes through, causing the bit to catch and get stuck. Banggood won't replace or refund the full amount. I've ordered 3 veiko products and all 3 were defective.

You have hit the nail on the head when you mention PARALLAX. I find with my age and eyesight, parallax is prevalent in affecting my accuracy. So many of the modern aluminum based products have poor choices in color and thickness. The numbers and lines get difficult to make out because of poor color to background differentiation. Combine with smaller print and parallax and you could use a string with knots as accurately. Great reviews although you seemed somewhat generous in a couple of your ratings for my taste - primarily due to parallax from overly thick edges. That is my personal opinion but not to lessen the accurate professional ratings you always give.

@HookedonWood

Жыл бұрын

Hi Clyde, I a fully agree about the Parallax, colors, small prints. Also I do not like the thick edge rulers, like I said in the video. But their seem to be a market for these kind of squares. I believe it is still woodpeckers popular Square. So, who am I to judge personal preferences. So, I try to neutralize this as good as I can in my videos. But the reason why I show almost everything I say, is so people can make on their minds themself as well. As long as my videos give good information so viewers can made up their mind about a product I am satisfied. When they do not agree with my ratings, that is also perfect because they value certain aspects differently. I consider your own value more important than what I think about it. Thanks for your comment!

Maar met de 0.5, 1mm, en Pica doe ik vrijwel alles.

I bought a VeikoT square but I can hardly read the numbers so I am afraid my score would be close to 1. A good square but useless as a measuring tool. I wish I had paid more for a good quality tool.

Finally a Chinese product that is not a copy! And so the price is acceptable. All those copies from European or American engineering. It's a pitty. So if Veiko makes an own researched alternative, it realy deserves the attention. Yesterday I saw a review of the kreg jig and compared to this Veiko model it seemed crap.

I agree that I am not fully use to the fact that they start to sell more expansive products. But if I look at the big Square, I find it pretty expansive, the sales price is OK. At the other side, if it is a good quality, and still a lot cheaper than competition, I can not say it is too expansive. But on both the Square and Hinge Jig, It took some time to put it in perspective.

Hierdoor is deze tool dus alleen bruikbaar voor het boren van een 35 mm gat en daarvoor lijkt me dit een te dure oplossing.

My experience with squares from China have been way more miss than hit. The carpenter square from Veiko is not actually square and the adjustment screws are just fake and don't actually allow to adjust the squareness 👎. Maybe they've adjusted the product meanwhile to be of better quality but I remain sceptical especially since it's close to impossible to get bad China products replaced, best case you get a (partial) refund but what good is that for a square which is not square? Also I disagree about the value of the Aluminum "machinist" squares, a good DIN 875/0 lapped steel square with guaranteed accuracy and long time stability delivered from Europe costs around the same as the who-knows-what-to-expect aluminium ones from Veiko, so why even bother?
