When it comes to door hinges, you need a router bit with a wide cutting diameter. Most people prefer to use ½-inch (1.27-cm) or ¾-inch (1.91-cm) diameter bits, although some people still use the ¼-inch (0.64-cm).
Beside above, can you use a Dremel as a router for door hinges?
The Dremel tool with plunge router attachment can quickly install door hinges. Used by professionals and novices alike, the Dremel is a versatile handheld power tool. With the plunge router attachment, the Dremel transforms into a surface router that can handle the size, speed, and detail of many small jobs.
In this regard, do door hinges need to be recessed? Hinges don’t need to be recessed, although it is common practice. The technique used (i.e., recessed or flush) is dependent on the type of hinge used, as some of them have to be recessed while others will work either way. Hinges can either be recessed or mounted flush onto the door and frame.
