Abstract: A phototool having frame assemblies connected by a hinge assembly. The hinge assembly comprises a first hinge plate, a second hinge plate and a hinge shaft. Protrusions are connected to the first hinge plate and a non-rotating insert is disposed in each protrusion. Each non-rotating insert receives a portion of the hinge shaft and is sized so that the hinge shaft is substantially non-rotatable within each non-rotating insert. Protrusions are connected to the second hinge plate and a rotating insert is disposed in each of these protrusions. The hinge shaft extends through each rotating insert and each rotating insert is sized so that the hinge shaft is rotatable within the insert without movement in radial directions.
