Abstract
A fixture for joining two work pieces by pocket hole joints has a base to be mounted to or movable along a table or other member and a drill guide having one or more angled drill guide channels is mounted to the base to be movable toward and away from the table top on which the work pieces are placed. In one embodiment a toggle type clamp on the base carries the drill guide. In another embodiment the base has an upper arm above the work pieces and the drill guide is mounted on the end of a screw that is threaded into the upper arm. The drill guide is moved by the toggle clamp or screw against the work pieces to hold them clamped to the table and a drill bit is advanced in each angled guide channel into the work pieces to form a pocket joint. A screw is driven through a guide channel into the previously drilled pocket hole to join the work pieces.
