Abstract: A self-adjusting pocket hole jig system is presented having a base, an upright assembly operably connected to the base, a clamp and drill guide assembly operably connected to the upright assembly, and an actuator assembly operably connected to the clamp and drill guide assembly. The clamp and drill guide assembly is configured to move along the upright assembly in response to movement of a handle of the actuator assembly upward and downward. Movement of the handle downward automatically adjusts the height of the clamp and drill guide assembly based on thickness of the workpiece for drilling of a pocket hole. In one or more arrangements, rotation of the handle downward from a non-clamping position to a clamping position simultaneously locks the clamp and drill guide assembly in place along the upward assembly and clamps the workpiece between the clamp and drill guide assembly and a backstop of the base.

Abstract: In one or more arrangements, a pocket hole jig system having a stationary upright is presented. In one or more arrangements, the pocket hole jig system has a base, an upright assembly having a guide, a clamping assembly having a handle portion and a workpiece support member, and a drill guide assembly. In one or more arrangements, the guide of the upright assembly provides a path of travel for the drill guide assembly downward and forward towards the workpiece support member at an angle and upward and away from the workpiece support member at an angle, and wherein the workpiece support member is configured to move in a path parallel to the generally planar work surface of the upper surface of the base. In one or more arrangements, the workpiece support member is configured to travel a fixed distance between a fully disengaged position to a fully clamped position.
