Abstract
A U-shaped fixture for drilling pocket holes in a workpiece having a base leg, a guide leg and a clamp leg with the base leg joining the guide leg and clamp leg and there is a guide channel in the guide leg at an angle to the guide leg having an entrance on an exterior surface and an exit on the guide leg interior surface which is to oppose a first surface of the workpiece with a second surface of the workpiece generally transverse to the first surface resting on the interior of the base leg. A threaded adjustable clamp on the clamp leg is movable to engage a third surface of the workpiece that is opposite the first surface to hold the workpiece during the time a drill bit is advanced in the angled guide channel to the workpiece first surface. There is a set of spaced ribs on the interior of the guide leg against which the workpiece first surface rests and the exit opening of the guide channel is in the space between said ribs to permit clearance for ejection of wood chips from the drill bit and the base leg has a recess along an extension line of the guide channel into which the tip of the drill can protrude after it passes through the workpiece.
