Publication number: 20250050430Abstract: A handheld powered pocket hole drilling system is provided. The system includes a base assembly having a plate. The plate has a drill bit opening extending through the plate. The system includes a drilling assembly and a drill bit connected to the drilling assembly. A drill guide assembly is operably connected to the base assembly and the drilling assembly. The drilling assembly is movable along the drill guide assembly to extend and retract the drill bit through the drill bit opening at an angle. An actuating assembly is operably connected to the drilling assembly. The actuating assembly is configured to move the drilling assembly and drill bit between a retracted position and an extended position. In some arrangements, the actuating assembly moves a drilling assembly and drill bit rearward and downward to the extended position and a handle of the actuating assembly is moved forward and downward.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 30, 2024Publication date: February 13, 2025Inventors: Neil M. Holland, Timothy J. Forbes, Scott Schaaf, Nathan Scott Combs, Brian William Hill

Patent number: 11701721Abstract: An adaptive cutting system is presented that facilitates cutting workpieces in new and different ways in a fun, easy, fast, accurate and safe manner. The system includes a benchtop having a grid of bench dog holes across its surface as well as a pair of table tracks embedded within its surface. An edge track extends around the benchtop and a pair of hinge members are connected to the edge tracks that also connect to a saw track that is movable between a raised and lowered position. The system also includes narrow rip stops, wide rip stops, bench dogs and a miter gauge all of which work in concert with the on-table features to facilitate on-table measurement and alignment of workpieces for performing cutting operations.Type: GrantFiled: June 10, 2022Date of Patent: July 18, 2023Assignee: Kreg Enterprises, Inc.Inventors: Joseph W. Gibson, Doyle R. Ramsey, Shelby Lee Strempke, Nathan Scott Combs, Neil M. Holland, Elliot James Hoff, Timothy J. Forbes, Allen F. Raushel, Jacob Martin, Casey L. Kerkmann, Stacy A.
