errr...... dunno big-all ??? Its an Makita Orbital Action Jigsaw 4350FCT. Had it on setting 1 and the highest speed. Is this wrong? I'm sure that's what the 'manual' suggested. Joe

Hi woody Yip, done it. Doesn't look too bad either :) Not totally perfect perhaps but I'm happy enough with it as it is. :D Joe

That's what I thought might be happening woody, but I was going real slow.... :cry: so I'm not sure what the issue was. I mean I just bought the Makita the other day so its brand new. I'm sure its probably a technique thing, being as this is my first run with a jigsaw .. but I was mightily...

Gonna add an update to this thread in case anybody else comes along to view it. Just done this over the weekend. Almost turned into a DIY Disaster! What I found was that the Jisaw wandered all over the place. Snapped 2 blades in the process. Luckily for me, all of the worst wanders...

Just did this at the weekend :) Popped down the b&q and bought a 35mm bit that was exactly what I was looking for. Drilled a 2mm pilot hole in the door and then used the new bit (dunno what its called - forstner?) in a standard drill and 2 minutes later was fitting the recessed hinges...

Just started doing this myself - having been let down continually by various local chippies. Bought a decent router and the template etc and started last night. My advice: Take your time and don't rush it. Check all measurements - double or treble if necessary and make sure there are no...
