Rutlands have one on offer this w/e.
It looks like a nice, if rather dangerous, bit of kit, but before I splash out dosh...
... if you want real invisibility, you surely need to match the angle the pocket hole jig has to the grain of the workpiece.
In turn that probably means making a big enough block, with two parallel faces squared off at that angle, so the plug cutter can be started square to the stock (and I wouldn't dare use it in any sort of handheld drill!
So has anyone got one, if so how do you prep the stock to cut the plugs from, and is it worth the bother (for you, I mean)?
Ever curious,
E.
PS: I suppose I could tilt the drill press table, but it's getting messier by the second!
