SOSS 51310 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What router bit do I need for a SOSS 216IT, 218IT or 220IT router guide template?
The SOSS 51310 is the bit those wooden router guide templates are cut for. It works with the 216IT, 218IT and 220IT guides, and is also referenced for use with the 418IT. It is a 1/2 inch by 2-1/4 inch carbide tipped stagger tooth plunge bit on a 1/2 inch shank, so the cutting diameter matches the guide bushing path the template is built around. Using an off-size bit in a SOSS template will not produce the correct concealed hinge pocket.
2) Is the SOSS 51310 a plunge bit, or do I have to start the cut from the edge?
It's a plunge design, so you can drop it straight down into the face of the door or jamb inside the template opening and then rout out to the walls of the pocket. That's what mortising for a concealed hinge requires, since the pocket is a blind cut with no open end to enter from.
3) Does the SOSS router guide template come with the bit, or is the 51310 a separate purchase?
The 51310 is a separate item. The router guide templates (216IT, 218IT, 220IT, 418IT) and the bit are ordered independently, so a complete SOSS mortising setup means the correct guide for your hinge size plus this bit and a router with a 1/2 inch collet. SOSS publishes router guide installation instructions covering how the guide is set up on the door.
4) Who actually makes the SOSS 51310 router bit?
Amana Tool makes it for SOSS. It is sold under the SOSS 51310 number as the bit matched to the SOSS wooden router guide templates, so if a spec or a shop standard calls for an Amana bit for SOSS invisible hinge mortising, this is that bit.
5) How many router bits come in a SOSS 51310 order?
One. The 51310 is sold each, bagged individually, one package per container. If you're running a crew on multiple openings or want a spare on hand for a long day of mortising, order the quantity you need rather than expecting a multi-pack.
6) Is a carbide tipped bit worth it for routing hinge pockets, or will a high speed steel bit do?
For repeat commercial work, carbide holds the edge. The 51310 is carbide tipped with a stagger tooth grind, which shears the cut across the flutes instead of loading one edge, so it stays sharp through a run of openings and leaves cleaner pocket walls. On a one-off residential door a cheaper bit gets you through; on a building full of doors, a dulling bit starts burning and wandering off the template, and a wandering bit in a concealed hinge pocket shows.
