PSA: My old way of setting up for face frame doors was a total time suck
For years, I'd clamp a straightedge to the cabinet box, run the router, then spend forever cleaning up tear-out with a chisel. It was messy and took me about 45 minutes per cabinet. Last winter, I finally bit the bullet and bought a dedicated face frame door jig from Kreg. The first time I used it on a set of six upper cabinets, I was done in under two hours total. The setup is just faster and the bearing guides eliminate almost all the tear-out I used to get. I can't believe I waited so long to switch, just because the old way was 'how I was taught'. What other jigs or setups have you guys bought that actually saved you real time in the shop?
