how much of the cylindrical part of a hinge should be sticking out when fitting a door?
I bought a hinge jig, set it up and routered my first hinge slot. Placing the hinge in after I see a gap at the long flat end opposite the pin, which implies the pin end should be sunk into the frame a bit, but that then means it cannot be routered in which rather makes the hinge jig pointless
I can set the jig differently to remove the gap quite easily, just wondered if I should or if there is a rule? The current setting comes from following the instructions as to where to place the hinge in the jig when aligning the stops, though the instructions may be a bit ropey as I've found a few errors elsewhee in the diagrams
