I need to fit a number of those kitchen door brackets and wondered if there is a specialist router bit that I can use with my drill that will create a hole thats the exact size and depth needed for these types of brackets

Anyone know what I mean / have any ideas ??

thanks in advance !

I'm assuming you mean the flat drill bit for the concealed kitchen door hinges, if so, called Hinge Cutter Bit, normally 35mm

If you are going to plunge cut with a router then make sure you get a bit that has the correct speed rating, a variable speed router, you will also need a 40mm guide bush and a simple jig like this that can be clamped to the door.

Or you can mak ethe hole in the jig 35mm and run the bit in a cordless but will have to judge the depth.

Some kitchen worktop jigs also have a hole that will produce a 35mm hole when used with a 30mm bush and 12.7mm bit

If you are feeling flush here is a basic jig for the job.

I too have to fit some 35mm concealed hinges. I have a Hinge Cutter Bit.

However, my question is:
What distance from the edge is the hole cut?
(Is there a standard distance?)

The hinge is like this

Thanks.

The FVG hinges that B&Q sell are designed for 15mm carcase sides, so les's 22mm will be OK if you are using 15mm carcases.

If your carcases are 18mm then you really need a Hinge with a 0mm height mounting plate but may get away with increasing the edge distance by 3mm, this can cause the door to hit the carcase when open.
