naamanf Posted January 12, 2023 Report Posted January 12, 2023 Tossed together this simple pocket hole machine. Just waiting on the router bit to show up to give it a try. Quote
Voltron Posted January 12, 2023 Report Posted January 12, 2023 Is that the bit that you're going to use in your pocket hole? I really don't like that clamp placement, but I guess it depends on which way you face when you sit on that thing. 2 Quote
naamanf Posted January 12, 2023 Report Posted January 12, 2023 (edited) It’s making the pocket just like a Castle machine would, clamp is just there to hold the material while the pocket is cut. Offset to make the alignment mark easy to see. Operated from the side the picture was taken. Edited January 12, 2023 by naamanf Quote
swt61 Posted January 13, 2023 Author Report Posted January 13, 2023 Cool, but why does it have a toilet paper holder? Quote

swt61 Posted January 13, 2023 Author Report Posted January 13, 2023 Oh, that's the lever to raise the router bit. Got it. Sweet indeed! When will mine be ready? It really is a great idea! Quote

Did you really not get my "joke"? 🥺 See, if that thing were a fuck machine and you sat on it facing the clamp then the clamp would crush your junk. While being penetrated. Get it? 😣 Cool idea for pocket holes tho, bro. Quote

VPI Posted January 17, 2023 Report Posted January 17, 2023 Has anyone used either the Omniwall or Wall Control products in your shops? Thinking of going with one of those behind the drill press table instead of French cleats. Quote
VPI Posted January 19, 2023 Report Posted January 19, 2023 For the short term at least, I threw up some French cleats and threw together a holder for the Clamp Squares and the Infinity Tools Woodworkers First Aid kit. 6 Quote
naamanf Posted January 19, 2023 Report Posted January 19, 2023 Nice! tested out my new pocket hole machine. It makes holes. 5 Quote
VPI Posted January 19, 2023 Report Posted January 19, 2023 Those are some serious holes. My Castle and Foreman both put the screws well inside the holes, yours seems to get more of the meat of the board involved. How does yours adjust for different screw lengths? Quote

VPI Posted January 23, 2023 Report Posted January 23, 2023 Thanks. I would have preferred to do something bigger but most everything left out in my shop develops rust so I just put the cheap stuff out. Quote

If not, might be worth trying to see if it helps even if it is unlikely to cure the issue. I know my shop, without the DH running, goes through huge swings of humidity. Given the heat/coldsink that most tools represent they attract condensation like crazy which is likely the cause of some of your rust problems. Quote
