Customer Reviews

One of the keys to successfully making my wood-hinge box is using a hard enough rod for the hinge axle so that it will not deform when you cut it. Our rods are hardened metal that wont deform and come in two diameters: 1/16 inch and 1/8 inch.

The 1/16 inch diameter rods are used with 1/4 inch and 3/8 inch dowels. The 1/8 inch diameter rods are used with 1/2 inch and 3/4 inch dowels.

Our rod kits come in three different configurations:

1/8 inch Rod Kit: 3 x 6 inch segments of 1/8 inch diameter rod
1/16 inch Rod Kit: 6 x 6 inch segments of 1/16 inch diameter rod
Combination Rod Kit: 2 x 6 inch segments of 1/8 inch diameter rod and 4 x 6 inch segments of 1/16 inch diameter rod

perfect fit

The system works perfectly. It takes a little time to get the dowels to the correct size. but after that its all good. The little package of welding rods go far because you only use about 1/2" for each pivot point. They are sized perfectly for the supplied 1/16" drill bit. I even used a dab of wax on the end of each dowel segment for better lubrication.

Works as advertised

I used Rob's 1/4" kit to build my first wood hinged box. It took a few attempts with some scrap to get the alignment right, but the final project looks great.

Wood hinge kit review

The product works great! Also, great customer service as well! Thank you

Critical component -- guaranteed fit with the center drill tool

the fit was perfect -- no trial and error. If you use the center drill tool, these rods are an absolute perfect fit for the hole

3/8 wood hinge

Fantastic little tool. Perfectly centered holes in 3/8 dowels.
