Video review and instructions for working with the tool. Information taken from the official source of the manufacturer:

Virutex hinge template

One of the analogues with a factory insert. Unfortunately, it has a number of negative aspects:

Only a branded router is used in the work. If any part breaks, buying another model will cost less;
It takes a long time and is difficult to adjust the desired size;

Template for inserting Gidmaster locks

Compared to the previous model, this jig for inserting locks is a fairly cheap option (around 12,000 rubles). But it is far from universal and is only useful when working with locks. Yes, and the insertion is only possible with a drill.

Before purchasing this model, it is important to consider that:

There will be inaccuracies in sizing adjustments;
The drill works worse than the router; its speed is too low. Torn edges form in the form of unevenness and chips on enamel doors;
Only cutters with threaded collets are suitable. There are no such cutters on the market; you will have to order thread cutting from a turner each time.
This jig is not intended for installing hinges, bolts and strikers.

Templates for a router with inserts and copy sleeves

Templates for inserting hinges and locks with replaceable inserts are more suitable for amateur use. But the work will take a lot of time, because there are many configurations and sizes.

In this case, you will have to spend much more money than planned. Purchasing a minimum set that is suitable only for 5 types of hinges, locks, hidden hinges, latches and strike plates will cost 15,000 rubles. For a standard set in which you can embed 30% of the existing fittings, you will have to pay at least 25,000 rubles.

Today, the complete package of inserts includes over 200 pieces. The cost of each insert is 300-500 rubles. not counting the price of the base itself for inserts and copying sleeves, all this pleasure is estimated at over 65,000 thousand rubles.

The high cost of a kit with which you can work is not the main problem with templates for an insert-based router.

It will not be possible to place everything compactly, and chaos in the set will affect the quality and efficiency of the service.
Over time, more and more fittings appear, inserts for which are impossible to manufacture and cover everything.

Insert templates have their disadvantages:

There is an error when installing the fittings. Inserts are designed for a specific size, and any fittings have tolerances of +-0.5-1.5 mm;
You cannot cut hinges into the leaf and the door at the same time;
It will also not be possible to cut hinges into new wide boxes;
Unreliable and dangerous fixation with clamps;
Without securing the router, you can get injured;
There is no possibility to embed the bolt;
Setting the indents and positioning of the template takes about 15 minutes for each type of fittings. (information taken from video reviews).

The number of required inserts is updated every month. Old inserts for fittings that are no longer in demand will need to be constantly updated and new ones purchased. In some video reviews, door installers said that they had 300 pieces. inserts with a total weight of 40 kg. And every year there are more and more of them.

Which tool is better to buy?

Based on the above, the UVK-Profi universal template for inserting hinges and locks has no analogues. It ranks at the top of all reviews where similar models are compared. This is confirmed by reviews from professionals who have been using only this model for years.

When purchasing a tool, you should definitely opt for the improved version with a vice. It is more compact and functional than previous models.

Expanding the functionality of the router

Additions for a router should solve one problem - to hold the tool in the desired position when processing material. When purchasing an expensive machine, frequently used milling accessories are included in the kit. But for cheaper or highly specialized options, you have to buy them separately. The design of such additions is quite simple and does not require a drawing for self-production.

Rip fence

This addition allows for straight cuts and is often used when working with wood. It allows you to work on any surface, not just your desktop. The grooves are cut with its help.

The design of the add-on consists of:

Rods that are attached to the body of the instrument.
A fine adjustment screw is used to adjust the gap between the cutter and the surface.
A locking screw, with its help, the rods are secured in the desired position.
Overlays, on which the tool is placed.

The design of the base is quite simple and you can make it yourself.

To prepare an addition to the work you need:

Install the rods into the holes of the tool body and secure them with a screw.
Set the required distance between the surface and the cutter.

Additionally, by placing a specially treated block (with one rounded edge), you can significantly increase functionality and make cuts along a curve. This part is installed between the tool and the surface. Due to its unstable position, it must be handled very carefully.

Guide rail

The addition is used to move the tool over the working surface at any angle, which is different from the rip fence. The design makes it easier to mill holes located at a distance from each other. Special clamps hold the device on the surface being treated. If they were not included in the delivery set, then clamps are used. Some options are equipped with an adapter to adjust the direction of movement of the tool.

The design is best used together with a power tool whose support platform is adjustable. This will help eliminate the problem when the tire and the cutter are located in different planes, which happens when the tool and the workpiece are close.

The design is quite simple, but very effective. If you have minimal skills in working with the tool, it can be easily done at home. To do this, just take a block, which is attached to the surface to be treated using a clamp. If you fix the structure on two or more bars at the same time, you can make a groove in one go. The main disadvantage is the difficulty of accurately fixing the structure in relation to the future cut. But the following additions lack this.

The first fixture consists of a sheet of plywood and a guide connected together. It is used to work with blades of the same size.

When you need to use cutters of different diameters, a different device is suitable. Its main advantage is that the tool is in contact with the entire lower part of the material. The guide has a board (folding) that holds the power tool in the desired position to the material.
