I need an operator's manual for the SBOX8 Freud so I know how to set up the jig.

Request the manual from Freud.

You can contact Freud directly, they do have large U.S. operation and carry most spares. The Parts and Repair department is (800) 334-4107 to order the parts you need.

You can see it right here: http://www.toolmarts.com/media/Freud/Freud-SDIC0816-lg.jpg

Hi Ruggbob
My name is Larry Boccioletti from Toronto Canada.
I am a service dealer for Freud. I can get you an operating manual for your router BUT there is no assembly instructions for it.
If you need parts for your router I can supply.
I am the last dealer in Ontario for Freud because they were bought out by Bosch and are being fazed out.
my company is Halton Maintenance Centre and my email is [email protected]
Larry

This site will give you a list Freud of service centers by state:

Here is the parts breakdown for your jig saw and the site for ordering parts.

You might be better off replacing the plastic base with a piece of 1/4" clear lexan (plexiglas). you'll be able to see through that.
Otherwise, you can make a simple jig that stops the trimmer at both ends (at the length of cut for the hinges) and controls the depth of cut by registering against the edge of the door. Make the jig base itself of 1/4' MDF or some such and longer than you think you'll need it to be so you have a way to clamp it or pin it down to the door.
If that sounds too complicated, try measuring the distance from the edge of the bit to the edge of the trimmer, in both directions, and marking the corresponding length away from the hinge position with a piece of blue masking tape or something, so you'll have an easily visible reference line when routing. You can mark it a little short and clean up the end of the cut with a sharp chisel.
Finally, run a test on a piece of scrap before you try to fit the hinge to your finished work.

You have a couple options, I found a website for Freudtools.com where you can find a dealer near you or you can call Freud direct at 1-800-334-4107 to order the brushes. The part number I saw that you need is 13413.9073 but you might want to double check me on that . let me know if I can help further
