hinge slot cutter
Just wondered if there is a good hinge slot tool out there, other than the Great Planes electric tool? Do not mind a manual tool if it does a good job, have trouble getting those CA hinges to go in slot without bunching up. Flipstart

RE: hinge slot cutter
The Dubro Hinge Forks work very well. Look down toward the end of this page:

Solve all of your hinge slotting problems with the wonderful Higley tool at http://members.aol.com/harryhig/MainMenu.htm
It is a sophisticated precision device compared to the DuBro which is like a shovel.

RE: hinge slot cutter
I used my Dremel with round cut wheel bit. Drew my centerlines and cut each hinge slot with ease. No digging. If you need to widen the slot more just move the wheel back and forth in the slot or open it a bit with a razor after cutting the slot with the wheel. Hinged all my surfaces including flaps with Dubro and pins. Works great.
