Great Video, Easy to understand even with the metric measurements lol. I’ve never built cabinets or hung doors before. I’m designing and building out my garage work shop for the first time. I love the inset door look. I imagine inset doors would keep dust from settling on top of the door if they were set outside the frame.

Fantastic Bent! Thank you fir all of your helpful info over the years. Hinges have always been my nemesis. Tomorrow we conquer the inset hinge!

Great tutorial as usual! Those woodpecker Paolini squares are awesome. So versatile. And for those of you who try this w/o self centering drill bits, expect to be disappointed. Now matter how accurate you think you are free hand, you'll see the hinge jut to one side or another as you drive in the screw. That's called the OHNO Second. The split second before you realize you made a mistake and it's going to cost you! :) If you have to redrill, keep some wooden toothpicks around. You can glue the toothpick in to the defunct screw hole and try again. Also, most cheap hinges come with GARBAGE screws. Just throw out the pack and get some quality screws. It'll keep you from filling up your swear-jar! LOL.

Thank you for this detailed video. This was extremely helpful.

Great video. I’m a carpenter. I’d like to share why and how to install an 1.5 inch thick open slat door as an inset when the hinge market is geared to address 3/4 inch thick doors. 1st, the only way to address a thicker door for function, is recessed. Second, the hinge needs to be recessed in the door in exact placement and distance from the face of the door and cabinet as a 3/4 inch door would need it to be. A double recessed of sort. So a 1.5 inch thick door operating with inset or recess hinge has to have a recessed hinge from the back of the door, 3/4 inch further toward the front with modification so the neck of the hinge passes freely through the hinge side freely. This applies to the case when the face has the same profile open slat as the door for uniformity of the entire front of the cabinet including face and the door are uniformly open slat on the entire front of the cabinet. Just sharing and I’m not sure if I didn’t fumble my meaning.

Great explanation. Have you ever used soft-close Blum hinges together with Tip On/Push to open? Seems like I should follow your steps, except have the hinge plate 2mm forward to allow for the Push to Open spring to be pressed.

As a Canadian I can easily switch between metric and imperial. I think of speed in kilometers/hour I think of height in Feet/inches I think of interior temperature in Fahrenheit I think of outdoor temperature in Celsius I encourage all woodworkers to start using the metric system for their projects. Switching to metric for woodworking increased my accuracy enormously. It also largely eliminated nearly all measuring errors for me. No more fractions, no more 3/32 of an inch. Metric woodworking is like easy-mode.

@MaritimeFox

I grew up in the UK in the 70's which is when the switch to metric started. The UK has never fully embraced metric so we now have a weird hybrid. I think in Miles per hour. I'll say someone is 6ft 2 inches but I'll measure my projects in metric. Temperatures used to be spoken of in Fahrenheit but now celsius is easier to understand. Fuel is offered in litres but car performance is still measured in miles per gallon. I think that is a deliberate smoke screen by car manufacturers and the government. For wood and metal work, metric is the only way to go. All those fractions are headache inducing. Much easier to say 60mm or 300mm. It's also easier when using computer design packages like photoshop, illustrator or affinity.

Hi Bent, Great video very informative. Quick question what model number of Blum hinge are you using?

Hi appreciate your advice so I have to made adjustment for the thickness of the door?

Great tutorial! Question: with the 5mm tab that creates a 2mm reveal. How adjustable is that with the blue 110 clip top inset hinges? It’s unfortunate that they cant adjust how much the hinge closes so that it doesn’t need that stop glued onto the top or bottom of the cabinet. I realize there is a lot going on in a small space, but at least they could make it stop at 90 degrees to the mounting plate.

I dont set my depth because Ive done this so long, now lets go redrill ever so slightly deeper

I do have another video about them. It’s one of my older ones. It’s also linked in the top right corner of the video when I mention it

Fantastic video. Thank you so much. I am working on a cabinet that will have doors with glass. Ideally the door frame will be only 1" wide all the way around. Is it possible to find inset hinges that would work with a door frame that is only 1" wide? I am talking about the place on the door where you have to use the drill press to drill the hole that the hinge sits in. All of the inset hinges that I have seen are larger than that. I was wondering if they even make them small enough to work with a door frame that is only 1" wide. Do you know?

Excellent instructional video (dare I say as usual.) Question: Are you using a 35mm forstner bit or a 1 3/8” bit? I’m guessing the former. Also the little Rockler jig for inset portion, What is it? Thank you so much. Please keep teaching.

Just about to do my first set ever, in glad I've ordered a gauge. My doors will be inset on a faceframe but the faceframe hinge mounting plates are impossible to get in the UK so in going to just pack out the mounting surface flush with the faceframe edge and use normal inset hinges. That's the plan anyway 🤞

What do you do for very thick doors ? We had to put some spacer underneath the base because the door was rubbing on the side wall of the cabinet where the hinges bases are, even at maximum possible setting on the hinge adjustment. There was not enough adjustment to move it away from the cabinet wall. It looks like these hinges are made for standard door thickness and anything very thick like solid wood does not fit.

Please make a video of how to install inset cabinet doors with a face frame. PlEaSe!!

Hey, just wanted to thank you for this and other videos about Blum hardware. While it's a quality product, the instructions are TERRIBLE, and the company is no help. neither is Woodcraft, who sold me these hinges. Their suggestion was to make a bunch of scraps to the exact size you need, then experiment. Like we have time for that! You got me through this with a minimum of sweat. Thank you!

So jealous of your tools which allow perfection! Never seen a drill press with a fence! BTw, I'd love to do everything in metric, but in America suppliers make everything in inches and it's not as easy to convert to fractions. Going to search for your video on how to make those cabinets. So clean and elegant looking.

Clamp a straight edge to your drill press table… same thing. Second… he is an American… he’s actually active duty Army. Imperial to metric is easy. 1 inch is equal to 25.4mm. 1/2” therefore = 12.7mm. 3/8” is equal to .375” so multiple 25.4 x .375 which gives you 9.525mm.

I love Americans using the Imperial system still. They are more imperial than Britain. We have to use both because of the EU. I still think Imperial personally.

What is the depth you need to drill for the hinge? I was thinking about doing this with 18mm MDF but concerned it won’t be thick enough

When does the use of a third hinge come into play, as it relates to the door height? I’m sure weight and width are factored in. But I have some frameless cabinets that will have full overlay doors that are 18” wide, made of 3/4” thick CVG Fir plywood. Should I use three hinges?

What would you recommend using for a stop in the kitchen for cabinet doors? I’m switching from overlay to inset doors and there is no stop.

What's the drill bit called, the one that makes the hole? Also, Can it be bought as a bit for a regular drill or router?

Extremely informative video. Thanks. So the same euro hinges can be used for either full frame or inset right? All that differs is the setback for the inside piece.

Hello. I really enjoyed your well elucidated and informative presentation. I understood everything except when you said I have to deduct 2mm from 100mm for locating the hinge. You also said because we need 2mm gap for the top. I do not see the logic between the location of the hinge and the gap above. Please explain. Next question. Can I use that hinge for other than inset cases ? I appreciate in advance for your expert opinion.

How do you calculate how far back to install the hinge plate on your cabinet?

I’m not American. One time when I was flying there was this lady sitting behind me asked how long was 4cm. She said her daughter had surgery and the doctor told her the incision was 4cm. I drew it for her on a piece of paper. The rest of the world is using the metrics system just fine and it’s super simple and easy. Why are Americans using this weird “three quarters of an inch,” “11th sixteen and an eight quarter inch foot bluh bluh bluh” People are not confused by the door hinges. People are stuck with weird measurements and it’s confusing everybody. Metrics system is so easy; 1cm equals 10mm. That’s it. You don’t have to do fractions omg 😱

So I have inset hinges but they look very different from those. They're sort of the older style hinge where you put the 2 screws on the exterior of the face frame. When I bought these I thought they were kind of a regular hinge and I liked it because them do to the spring tension. I thought that would help it stay closed etc. The challeng is that I built a maple frame on my cabinets and I was thinking of using a 5/8 Maple framed doors with 1/2 dadoed Birch on the inside. I think I might have to mill it down to size to make it flush with the frame which looks like the door should be roughly 1/4th thick, seems to skinny of a door? Sorry this is sort of hard to explain without seeing these hinges.🤷🏽‍♂️ I might return them. Okay I think I found what I need to do. Looks like I need to cut a data to make these fit properly. Scroll to about 11 minutes in and she explains it pretty clearly. I think I got this. Hope this helped someone and greet video brother! kzread.info/dash/bejne/oJ982MmNeMK1mpc.html
