Inventors:

Robert N. Poole - Coronado CA, US

International Classification:

B23B 47/28

Abstract:

A pocket hole jig with screw sizing system includes a pocket hole jig with a guide block reciprocally carried by a guide holder. The guide block can be raised or lowered relative the guide holder between a range of distances corresponding and calibrated to a horizontal range defined by a workpiece. A scale on a gauge member carried by the guide block is divided into a plurality of zones. An indicator is carried by the guide holder for indicating one of the plurality of zones by the position of the guide block relative the guide holder. Also provided is a series of different size screws, wherein each different size screw of the series corresponds to one of the plurality of zones.

Inventors:

Robert N. Poole - Coronado CA, US
Daniel L. Poole - Glendale AZ, US
Michael G. Asimakis - Scottsdale AZ, US

International Classification:

B23B 47/28

Abstract:

A self-adjusting pocket hole jig includes a base having a clamp end and a toggle end, a guide carried by the base and reciprocally movable between a raised position and a lowered position. A clamp assembly is carried by the base and reciprocally movable between an engaged position and a disengaged position. An adjustment mechanism is coupled between the guide and the clamp assembly. The adjustment mechanism is arranged to move the clamp assembly in a forward direction to the engaged position and correspondingly move the guide in a downward direction to the lowered position, and arranged to move the clamp assembly in a rearward direction to the disengaged position and correspondingly move the guide in an upward direction to the raised position.
