Abstract
A pocket hole jig system is presented having a guide assembly having a drilling face and a plurality of drill guides that intersect with the drilling face. The main body of the guide assembly is formed of a first material that is rigid and provides structural integrity to the guide assembly. The first material has a low coefficient of friction. A grip layer is placed on the drilling face of the guide assembly. The grip layer is formed of a softer material that has a higher coefficient of friction than the material that forms the main body of the guide assembly. When placed on a workpiece, the grip layer provides increased grip on the workpiece thereby holding the workpiece and guide assembly in place and requiring less clamping pressure to hold the workpiece and guide assembly together.
