What is the best drill jig for doors & styles for kitchen cabinets?

After many years of building my caibnets…which are now all done, I need a drill jig to attach the hinges to both the doors and styles of each cabinet. I want the best jig recommended. Any afterhthoughts would be greatly appreciated.
I made the carcasses out of 3/4 plywood, and the face frames and doors are rock maple, with sprayed poly satin 3 coats, with a final wax with 4/0 steel wool rub down. They came out perfect, and I'll post during the installation.
Thanks to all my LJ friends for you continuous support over the years!!

Paul, what I was asking is basicallly what type hinge are you using ? 32 mm indicates the cup size of the most commonly used euro. concealed type hinge. Many types of hinges out there. Hard to recomend a jig without more inf. If you are using euro hinges and do not have a boring machine, a drill press would be best. Can you offer a bit more description ?

Paul, I have a 35mm Hinge Installation Marking Jig & Bit that you are welcome to borrow if it fits the bill. I can't recall if you are using european cup-style hinges. If so, this will work for a 35mm cup. Again, from the sample I saw, the cabinets look great!

Paul, Did you look at "Sommerfeld's Hinge Boring Jig". I bought one based on pricing and my amount of usage. Have only used it on one project so far, and I'm not an accomplished reviewer, but it worked for me.
Perhaps someone else had used one and would be a better judge. I have a mortiser but not a drill press.
Anyway, I hope your doors are coming along as nice as the corner cabinet pic you posted. bill
