Rant: My $200 Blum clip top hinge jig bent on the third job
I picked up that fancy aluminum jig from a supplier in Austin back in March, and by the third kitchen install the guide pin hole was already off by nearly 1/16th of an inch. Had to re-drill six door holes on site with a scrap template I cobbled together from plywood. Anyone else find those precision jigs just don't hold up to daily abuse?

Is that 1/16th difference really gonna throw off a full install that bad though? I've used jigs way jankier than that and you just compensate.

16th adds up quick when you're doing 50+ pieces @kim.zara. Just tack a scrap on the fence and call it a day.
