Publication number: 20230256522Abstract: 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: March 13, 2023Publication date: August 17, 2023Inventors: Neil M. Holland, Timothy J. Forbes, Scott Schaaf, Nathan Scott Combs

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.

Publication number: 20230173591Abstract: A pocket hole jig system is formed of a plurality of jig segments, wherein each jig segment includes a main body having a drill guide and a lock feature that protrudes outward on a first side of the main body and a recess that protrudes inward on a second side of the main body. The system also includes one or more spacers that have a main body of varying width and a lock feature that protrudes outward on a first side of the main body and a recess that protrudes inward on a second side of the main body. Jig segments and spacers may be connected together by inserting the lock feature of a jig segment or spacer into the recess of an adjacent jig segment or spacer. In one arrangement opposing jig segments and/or spacers lock together with a combination of rotational movement as well as sliding movement.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 20, 2022Publication date: June 8, 2023Inventors: Scott Schaaf, Timothy J. Forbes, Neil M. Holland, Brian Hill
