Pocket Screw Jig

Pocket Screw Jigs have been around for a long time. But until recently they haven’t been pre-packaged in a kit that comes with everything you need to do the job right and much faster.

How do Pocket Screw Jigs work?  

Pocket Hole Jigs are simple in theory but offer a lot of stability to your project. It is simply a clamp system that holds your drill at an angle while drilling a hole into a piece of wood. Later that wood will be attached to another piece and that angled hole will host a screw at just the right angle and depth. Without such a screw jig you would have to be much more careful when drilling so you don’t drill all the way through either or both pieces of wood. You’d also have to be careful not to drill at the wrong angle and buckle the wood through the front. The front is the surface that will be visible and needs to be pristine. 

What you need in a Pocket Screw Jig 

The Pocket Screw Jig itself and should be made of aluminum. At least a 3/8 inch step drill which is a drill with two different sizes on it to accommodate the body of the screw and the head without blemishing the wood. An assortment of screw like 1 inch, 1 ½ inch, 2 ½ inch, a hex key fdor adjustments, a stop collar to stop the drill from penetrating further into the wood, a screwdriver, and some pocket hole plugs to seal the holes after you have placed the screws.
