Overview:

6mm 8mm 10mm Pocket Hole Drill Jig is a compact, precision jig for creating strong, repeatable pocket-hole screw joints in timber. Machined from a solid aluminium block, it’s built for accuracy and durability, while the hardened drilling sleeves help keep the bit aligned for consistent pocket holes over repeated use. Designed to drill at a 15° angle, it’s portable and adaptable for a wide range of joinery tasks, from quick repairs to furniture and cabinet builds.
