Framed Panel (Cabinet) Joints
holes can be used for almost all framed cabinet
carcass construction.
Edge to Edge Joints
– allows narrow strips to
be jointed to create wider boards such as a table
top.
Post and Rail Joints
– pocket holes allow
strong table and chair joints. For fitting table
tops to rails, the rails will need to be pocket hole
drilled. To allow for the movement of the timber
as it expands and contracts the hole must be
slightly over size. This is achieved by lifting
the rail about 3mm off the base of the jig. This
should allow the pilot tip of the drill to break
through the end of the timber, giving the screw
space for some movement. Alternatively move
the rail sideways slightly to drill another pocket
hole (interlocking) allowing a slot for the screw.
Edging of countertops or shelving
– quick and
easy way to join edging onto plywood, MDF or
Particle board shelves.
Jig making
– very useful for jig making and
temporary assembly operations. Ideal for routing
jigs.
