Euro Hinge Blum Inset

[MichaelW2]

Time to fit my Euro style Blum soft close hinges onto MDF shaker style cupboard doors 18mm thick.
The instructions from Blum are inpenetrable and include all the data from hinges I don't have.
Anyone fitted these? All of the Youtube videos seem to use a purchased jig rather than show you the measurements.

So I decided to ignore the instructions and wing it. The advised mockup door was helpful.
The gap between door and surround (F in the instructions) is determined by gap (TB in instructions) between edge of 35mm drill circle, and edge of door. I started with 5mm gap tried 7 then settled on 2.5mm TB gap which resulted in 1.5mm gap, the smallest without interference from the funny hinge opening with my material thickness.

If the doors sit on the front face of the cupboard, the door width is usually ~5mm narrower than the cupboard. This is to give clearance on both edges for clearance against adjacent doors. The centre of the 35mm hole would be 20-21mm from the edge of the door ~2.5mm at the edge. There's normally plenty of adjustment in the hinges if you work to these dimensions.

Any use? I find it doubles up really well for marking the edge and top of sheets at the same time.
