Abstract: Jigs for forming holes for mounting a hinge to a door or frame is provided. The jig includes a main body defining a drilling aperture extending therethrough. The drilling aperture may be bounded by a tapered sidewall. The jig may include alignment cams that include knobs that allow for adjusting the position of the jig relative to the door. A cabinet hole template may be provided. The jig may provide structure for quickly locating a depth stop relative to a drill bit. The jig may include drill bit guides for forming holes for fasteners relative to a main cup hole that may be formed using the jig.
Abstract: A pocket hole jig that provides a vacuum attachment for waste debris removal is provided. A pocket hole jig that allows for adjustably positioning a clamp assembly is provided. Methods of operating pocket hole jigs are provided as well.
Abstract: An attachment for a router having a bit is provided. The attachment includes a frame, a first mounting aperture and a second mounting aperture. The frame member has a top side and a bottom side. The frame member has an opening therethrough configured to receive the bit therethrough when the router is attached to the top side of the frame member. The second mounting aperture is in the form of a mounting slot being adjustably positioned relative to the first mounting aperture to change an orientation of the second mounting aperture relative to the frame member and the first mounting aperture.
Abstract: A dowel jig having a main body, a clamp assembly and a drill guide is provided. The main body has first and second legs for locating a workpiece. The dowel jig may have a side stop for locating the workpiece in a third dimension. Drill guide spacers may be provided for locating the drill guide relative to the workpiece abutments provided by the main body. The clamp assembly may have locating features quick and repeatable adjustment of the location of the clamp for clamping workpieces for forming dowel holes in different portions of a workpiece.
Abstract: A clamp mount and clamp assembly using a clamp mount are provided. The clamp mount is used to attach a clamp to a workbench or other support device so that a workpiece can be clamped to a work surface. The clamp mount may include a removable shoe. The clamp mount may include a plurality of attachment plates for attaching the clamp mount to different supports or different mounting features of the support device.

Abstract: A pen assembling press includes a base, a press unit, a carriage, and a positioning arrangement. Actuation of a lever moves an engagement head relative to the base along an actuation axis. A second engagement head is coaxial with the first engagement head. The carriage is movably mounted to the base. The positioning arrangement includes a slot, a plurality of recesses and a pin. The slot extends through the first leg in a direction perpendicular to the actuation axis. The slot has a constant height section having a height. The pin has a shaft and a head. The head is receivable in the recesses. The shaft has a thickness being substantially equal to the height of the constant height section of the slot. The pin is movable relative to the carriage along a pin axis that is perpendicular to the actuation axis to selectively engage and disengage the recesses.
