Pocket hole machine

[Jimmy FineCut]

I drill a lot of pocket holes and would love to have a portable domino like machine for doing this.

Or if your more workshop based you could buy a cms plate that the machine fits in  [wink]

Porter Cable made a somewhat portable pocket hole machine several years ago. The limiting problem to a portable pocket hole cutter is that the machine has to be clamped to the work piece to cut accurate holes.

Nice outfit JD2720!  Was that base a piece of furniture adapted to your purpose or was it custom built?

Very nice. What are you doing for dust collection?

I imported the kreg foremen last year, I love it. So much faster, I run it off a 110v box

I recently noticed that Yandles are doing a 230V version now for anyone interested in this in the UK.

Thank you.
The base was custom built for the Kreg foreman.
It was the first project I did with a Kreg Beaded Faceframe system.

Thank you.
The chips just fall inside the metal Kreg cabinet. I just vacuum it out when it needs it. It will hold a lot of chips.

Thanks. What's the fence?

Thanks. What's the fence?

John

The fence is a piece of 1515 8020 aluminum rail.

I bought one of those kreg foreman machines many years ago, love it , I use it in the shop mostly but it's easily portable enough to take to a job, it's very light. And even better kreg has come out with a new model that's about half the price....

 

[Knight Woodworks]

Thanks again.

I think this will work for you... just be prepared for some of this: [jawdrop]

Almost,

no dust extraction  [wink]

 

[Jimmy FineCut]

Im thinking a domino/vecturo style body with a fence/clamp area set at an angle that grips or quick clamps on to the edge of the wood with dust extraction of course!

Still sounds like a 2 handed job, a kreg foreman would be easier & quicker, in my humble opinion

JD2720, I see you are Southern Indiana.  What town?  I am close to Jasper.

You guys just gave me a idea for a couple of more modules to set in the CMS.  Good place to mount the Kreg Jig.

BTW I have the old aluminium one.

Ron wouldn't it be a bit low?

Not for me buddy, I'm short remember
