What tools do i need to fit soft close door hinges on kitchen cabinets i am replacing my doors by making them myself . thank you.... Nigel
If you are using European hinges then then you will need a 25mm forstner bit for your drill. Using a drill press with an adjustable depth stop is recomended.

Removal of Cabinet
(Do not use decorative panel to move the machine)
1. Isolate power supply.
