Files included (1)
Compact Laminate (HPL) starting from 8 mm in thickness or any other desinfectant compatible material that can be milled.
Plywood, MDF and Hardwood will work too but there is a problem with disinfecting these materials. So in this case I would rather trash the hooks on a regular base after use.
Shaper, 6 mm cutter (1/4 inch. cutter), Sanding paper
Place the file on your plate and start by cutting the hole as an inside cut, than..
Make an outside cut of the PorzHook shape. As the HPL is pretty hard and brittle I recommand cutting out the shape in depth with steps of 2 mm per turn. After cutting sand the edges as routed HPL can be sharp-edged. And there you go...!
The Porz-Hook is great for opening door handles as well as closing them. I use the tool for pressing public nummeric pads and bell buttons, either. Make sure to desinfect PorzHook on a regular base.
