Yes.

Trend among others manufacture a jig


And our local B&Q warehouse stocks them. If you balk at the prices, a
piece of harboard, a saw and guide collar for the router (also at the
above B&Q) and you can make your own. Mind you for all that cost, time
and effort you could have done it with a chisel.

Pity you can't get hinges with rounded corners. Maybe you can these days


You have been able to for years, all the hinges in this house have
rounded corners and are fitted to frames and doors made off site and
just screwed into the openings on site. The house was built in 1980.
