POCKET-PRO JOINERY
Angled and Beveled Joints
The Pocket-Pro can be used to create a wide
variety of angled and beveled joints. The unique
incremental height adjustment of the Pocket-
Pro lets you put the pocket in the best possible
position for your application. As you become
more experienced with the jig you will find many
more applications than we can possibly illustrate,
but this 45° angled joint is a good illustration of
the technique:
1) This joint connects two pieces of 3/4"
(19mm) stock, but we recommend that you
set the jig at the 1" (25,4mm) height. This
has the effect of moving the pocket farther
back from the end of the miter cut, creating a
stronger joint.
2) Drill the holes. If you are joining wide
material, you will probably need more than
two holes, so shift the stock in the jig as
needed.
3) In order to assemble the joint, it will help
to create a stop block as shown to hold the
work in position. This technique is useful in
many other pocket hole applications.
Tongue & Groove and Rabbeted Joints
The Pocket-Pro's incremental adjustment comes
in handy for these common joints. Other pocket
hole jigs are positioned so that your screw would
cut through the tongue portion of the tongue
and groove joint. By adjusting the height of the
Pocket-Pro, however, you can control precisely
where the screw is positioned. For example,
in this illustration, we used 3/4" (19mm)
material, then showed where the screw would be
positioned at the commonly-used 3/4" (19mm)
position in the upper illustration. In the lower
drawing, we show the advantage of the 7/8"
(22,2mm) position with the Pocket-Pro.

The 1" setting is ideal for many
mitered or angled joints. Try other
settings for various thicknesses.
