That Big Horn kit is OP! Nicely done!

[@JonDunnmusician]

Hey Spencer great to see you funny is before you even opened the Van door I knew there were golf clubs behind it... smile & thank you for those 2 tips: 1 about not dropping the drill bit, furthermore turning off the router earlier wonderful to see it all

[@nigelboucher2014]

Always love the way you respect the trade following you. Not a lot of Carpenters do this. And as a result of watching your KZbin channel I think a bit more when finishing up the Job.🇮🇪

[@InsiderCarpentry]

I appreciate that!

superb vid Spencer!!! always a great job on every vid

[@cameronp5728]

ughhh I love this guy cause he shows how to do everything right with tools that make life easy. And here i am trying to follow him while finishing out my house. Idiot door and trim company is refusing to send someone out to put another bore on the garage door, its only a single. So now i am having to do it. Great video

Thanks for sharing. That's the way to go and the work done on those doors looks really professional, not to mention how fast the job was done. I'm definitely going to get the template for mortising the latches

[@scotts4125]

Nice jig. I'm a locksmith. The only thing I would suggest is when your first crossbore breaks through take your holesaw out and finish from the other side. Eliminates breakout.

[@degrom542]

@Phelebas I have the same jig just put a sacrafical piece of wood on the exit side .

[@michael.schuler]

@Phelebas. I've used this Templaco jig for many years. Tearout on the cross-bore exit side is completely minimal. The casting has identical holes on both sides, sized just big enough to allow the cross-bore bit to pass through them. As the casting acts as a clamp, sqeezed tightly against both sides of the door, it eliminates tearout in the same way that the guide strip does on a tracksaw. No need for any further precautions.

[@RikoRey92]

The jig is made to prevent that, the hole on the other side is the exact diameter of the bit so when it comes out there's no rik of tear out, been using this jig for 3 years now bits are still sharp, only wish the templates were made out of a better material, it's pretty expensive

[@JonDunnmusician]

Completely unnecessary- with this jig you don't have to worry about any tear out

[@gregeconomeier1476]

You saved the best for last.

[@adude7050]

When I router out the latch I will put my shop vac in the door knob hole so it sucks up the dust from the routing process. if you just angle the nozzle it will hold on of course it depends on he size of the hose.

[@electricman5010]

I have a small trim router with a 1/16 round over bit dedicated for running around the lock bore hole, cleans it up and it sure looks nice, have had many positive compliments from locksmiths. It is set to clean it up and soften the edge. Only adds seconds to the job for a clean professional appearance .

[@InsiderCarpentry]

That's a great addition to the process!

Fwiw...I prefer to drill the smaller barrel bolt first, that gives some relief and an edge for the 2-1/8" bit to bite into making that second cut a little easier.

[@InsiderCarpentry]

The irons have been amazing. Big upgrade for me.

[@michael.schuler]

I use the exact same set of Templaco jigs. One other expensive mistake to avoid when using the borong jig is to be sure the bit you're not using is fully withdrawn from the hole when you drill in with the other one. Don't ask how I know...

[@InsiderCarpentry]

I did the same thing! Thankfully no major damage. LOL

[@attilakungl8063]

Just add a stop collar and a spring what fits on the bit and all your problem is solved. Stop collar doesn't let the bit falling off the template and the spring push the bit back from the hole.

[@michael.schuler]

@@attilakungl8063 Thx. Will do.

[@bigbob9702]

I’ve been using this jig for over 20 years. I have never been able to get the door edge paddle but to stop chattering. I’ve been through 2-3 different bits. Otherwise it’s the only way to install door handles!!!

Yo man love you videos supper interested in getting some of these but I can't support Amazon if you had links to the actual manufacturers I'd be all over this stuff.

Does this kit work for a single sided deadbolt? Is there a stop included that would prevent you from going all the way through?

Hahahaha heck ya man it seems like you get up and down so much better and that handicap goes down just a little bit when you get a set of clubs that just feel like there growing outa your hands lol 😆 grip it and rip it ..... lol

[@stronghumantraining]

Sorry I am confused on which tool link you provided is the one you use? They look the same but there’s over $100 difference. Hoping to buy asap!

[@MikeBramm]

It would have been nice if the manufacturer of that boring jig left room for you to put a piece of backing wood where the 2 1/4" bit exits the door so you don't create a jagged exit wound.

[@InsiderCarpentry]

The other side is slightly offset to prevent major blowout. But you still get some fuzzing.

[@PaulMikna]

I bought this lock boring kit and I love it for precision locating! Only drawback is the HSS drill bits seems pretty dull. Not sure if anyone else has had that issue?

[@InsiderCarpentry]

Yeah, it definitely isn't anything special. Very slow.

Could you post, or show how you made your saw bucks for the doors? Please?

[@frameriteairdrie578]

He talks about them in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nV7WdGx5Zbmeha8

[@doug.ritson]

Wouldn't hurt ot put a stop collar on the drill bits to prevent them from falling to the ground. Also, the safety police in me reminds you that you have a family that depends on you have sight to do your job. My father worked in a factory and took his safety glasses off on his way to lunch and a steel chip caught him right in the eye. He was lucky is didn't blind him. Just a gentle reminder Spence that you are young, but not invincible.

[@stich1960]

I wish there was a kit in between the homeowner versions and a 500 dollar kit. I just don't do that many doors to blow 700 for dore bore and hinge jigs

[@benaxley2533]

Good job on the doors. Nice views but way to flat. I like my Tennessee mountains

[@codybastarache8448]

Where did you get that base plate for the compact router???

[@2979paul]

What did you do with the existing door slabs

[@sauliuslag]

1:48just put rubber ring on the bit axle. It’s will prevents bit to drop off.

[@ben68442]

I have that kit and it takes forever for the large bit to get through a solid wood door. Dust core doors are much faster. The angle of cut on the larger of the two forsner bits isn't very good.

[@bigluisjayrogan]

Do you have to be careful with tear out when boring the hole or do you flip the jig

[@InsiderCarpentry]

The other side is slightly offset to prevent major blowout. But you still get some fuzzing.

[@kingred21]

Does this kit slip if i use it on metal doors?

[@geolocksmithbk]

Where did you get that jig from?

[@foreststatham1184]

What about mortising the jamb side? Template for that?

[@rogerhodges7656]

In the opening seconds you mention that the bit wants to drop out. A shaft collar will prevent that problem and will be easy to remove when you need to sharpen or change the bit.

[@Mark_MOORE_VFL]

Are the bits with that template only for wood or could you add a dead bolt to a steel door

[@ChromeLuxx]

Wood only unfortunately. They may make steel bits, good question. Dam...now I need those too!!!

[@pwr-mfg3550]

I have a friend that purposely bought 2x6 framed doors to put into 2x4 rough openings. Have you ever done anything like this?

[@beerbeforebreakfast]

Im wandering if he did that because of larger drywall or multiple layers of drywall. Most stock jambs dont work with ⁵/⁸ drywall, and especially not any wall that may be double layered. Only thing you need to do is install the door as you would with extension side protruding past drywall, scribe, cut off the excess, install jamb trim.

[@pwr-mfg3550]

This version being all aluminum should last a lifetime or 3. Even though the milwaukee one is one of the better cheap plastic style jigs, you eventually will end up "wearing it" , especially if there are several people using the jig over its life.

I can see using the forstner bits is much faster than the holes saws you get in the Milwaukee or Ryobi kit

[@matthewwasserman7709]

@@MrRustyjackson after watching him use it again, I agree. Having those forstner bits basically live in the jig would make this easier to just pick up and get to work. Not having to clear the hole saw might be worth the $400 alone!!
