Intended Uses

A pocket-hole jig is used to join wood with screws that are steeply angled into the wood and very well hidden (aka "pocket-hole joints"). Any sort of cabinet framing, table joinery, etc., that appears seamless from the outside can be done with this jig. The DTL bike booth trailer was made this way!

You can also make repairs in tight spacing by removing the "Material Thickness Stop" and clamping.

Special Instructions

Workpiece must be between .5 inches and 1.5 inches for this jig to work. Built in detents for materials that are: 1/2 in., 3/4 in., and 1-1/2 in. thick.

Make sure to not clamp directly over the "Chip Ejection Hole" where the wood swarf is removed from the workpiece!

Please consult the Owner's Manual when taking the jig apart–the pieces are held together by plastic tabs that can break off if pushed the wrong way!
