Pocket Drill Jig

[murfman]

Does anyone have one that I can borrow? If you have to ask what it is, you don't have one:rollface:

I know what they are, but I don't have one. How much are they at HD or Lowe's?

 

[murfman]

I got mine at woodworkers, $21 plus I had to get the driver and screws. Lowes has them for $19, if you can find it. It's not called a pocket hole jig at lowes. Kreg makes the best one.

For the uninitiated, it's a drill bit jig that you use to make holes to join panels or other thin boards together edge-to-edge. They do a good job of hiding the screws behind the boards.

I like the one Norm has. It's a router based machine that drills the recess and the small diameter holes in rapid succession.

If you haven't found a Kreg Jig yet and can wait a few days for me to figure out which box its in, I do have a mini Jig you can borrow. Send me a PM if you want me to try and dig it out.
Or Rockler has the one I have for $24

stand is built, thanks though.

I wouldn't dirive to Cleveland to pick it up, either~:eek1:

I just moved to Colorado Springs and hadn't changed my location. But it may be a good thing you are finished, cause I had to go back to cleveland for buisness just as the moviers had arrived, and I had no idea that we had so much stuff. Finding the right box in the garage could have proven daunting.

And having just made that drive, I wouldn't recommend it for a weekend jaunt.

I drove from here to Huntsville, Al in July, then upto DC and from DC back to here via 70. Not a fun trip, over 3500 miles in two weeks. I am too old for that kinda driving!!!!
