Pocket hole jig

(1/6) > >>

SeanFu:
It's unfortunate that I always learn things a few months too late, but I wanted to turn you on the the wonders of pocket holes!

I got the Kreg Rocket jig (http://www.kregtool.com) for Christmas, along with some nice bar clamps.  My advice if you are about to start a custom cabinet: drop the $100 up front for a pocket hole jig and some proper clamps.  You'll thank yourself many times later.

Of course, I didn't have this stuff for the majority of my cabinet construction... but now I've seen the light!  All future cabinet joinery will be with pocket hole screws!

cheers!

I thought the "pocket hole jig" was the dance you did when you're wearing an old set of jeans, and all your tokens start sliding down your leg...   :o

Yeah I got the smaller version  a while back, but I was
already done with my cab, It kicks major ass!
It would have been handy for making the wood face frame that holds the monitor glass.

here is the link to the smaller Krieg jig from rockler

Hmm, I'll have to rummage around. I picked up one of the older aluminum Krieg jigs at a trade show and have never used it. I was under the impression it was mostly for doing face frame kitchen cabinets but I can see where it'd be useful doing stuff on arcade cabs.

I just bought the whole Kreg setup before Christmas at a woodworking show and it is incredible!!!  It is also rated the top pocket hole jig made.  Here is a pic of the monitor frame I put together for one of the Minis I'm building.  I've used the jig all over the cabinet so far with fantastic results.
