Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I use this jig with any router?

Q: Does it work on both wooden and glass sliding door tracks?

A: Yes, it is compatible with the tracks used for Hawa Porta (Wood and Glass) and Hawa Divido systems, provided they are within the 60kg to 100kg weight class specifications.

To ensure your project goes smoothly, always pair the 042.3118.071 with the Hawa Track Cleaner (057.3099.071) to remove aluminium shavings after routing, preventing damage to the ball-bearing rollers.
