Blum Hinge Question

Greetings,
What is the minimum width of a stile on a door using blum hinges.
Inset doors. I am rabbeting in for a glass pane 5/16" x 5/16" deep.
3/4" thick doors.
Thanks in advance,
Ken

It Depends On Which Hinge, there are many Hinge Configurations,
If you have to0 they have one that takes a 26MM bore that is for real small
frames
If you any exact sizes I can Scan the specs and e-mail them to you.
Good Luck,
George

The hinge is 35mm (~1-3/8" +rch) it is usually setback from the edge of the
stile by 1/8" and you would want at least that much solid wood for the other
side so..... 1-5/8" min width would be my guess based on 40 face-frame
cabinet doors I just helped hang.

Thanks Guys
I ended up going 2-1/8" to make room for the rabbet for the glass pane.
Happy woodworking,
Ken

1 5/8" for a blum 35 MM face frame type hinge. That's absolute minimum, you
may want to add another eight or so to that.
