Product Description
When your production needs have outpaced the manual Kreg Jigs, look for the added speed and convenience of the FOREMAN Pocket Hole Machine. The semi-automatic FOREMAN features a pneumatic drill motor and automatically adjusting air clamping cylinder. To operate, simply position your material to be drilled and pull the lever forward. This motion supplies air to the clamping cylinder that automatically adjusts to your material thickness as well as activates the 3/4 hp drill motor. Finish the drill stroke by continuing to pull on the lever and then return the lever to the home position to cut the air supply. New improvements over the DB50 include the addition of an oiler, top catch release, and the fence can now be adjusted from the top instead of under the machine

This Kreg machine is a massive time saver for anyone who uses pocket hole joinery for face frame cabinets or any other pocket hole project.

I own the Pneumatic foreman pocket hole machine and i have to tell you that this is an amazing time saver. It is simple, fast and very functional. The only complaint i have is that the clamp doesn't hold the wood down as securely as i would like. i understand that the new electric model has a very secure hold on the wood. if you have an option between the two, i would go electric.
