Hi I have a suggestion for two simple tools for wood working:

mortis and tenon

Pocket hole / dowel

thru bolt / screw

this would give your woodworking package even more appeal and speed for production shops like mine.

Thanks

I'll add these to the potential list of woodworking features. I think the pocket hole could be derived quickly from our through hole by two points feature.

Select Simple hole
Select By Two Points
Select Face
Select hole location
Select two points for hole direction


Perhaps the Pocket Hole would
Select Pocket Hole
Specify angle (i.e. 15 degrees)
Select Face
Select hole location

Pocket holes set up should probably have these settings:

number holes- cursor placement could snap to a end point or mid point? But most my connections have two pocket holes 1/2" from edge with a spacing of 2" on a 2x4

hole spacing-

screw dia / hole dia-

material thickness- this would be a simple calc to determine angle of pocket hole

BOM add of screw size and count?

BTW a standard pocket hole has a 3/8" counter bore of approximately 1" to 3/4" then it has bore of 1/8" that travels thru the centerline of the perpendicular plane.

So when i enter my settings I get my hole backwards.

Here is a pic where I am trying to get it to work. you can see my pocket hole though it looks correct- it does not face the proper edge and the angle is wrong.

Ok I figured out how to place the x, y orientation of pocket hole. NOw though when I choose my two points I need to the angle of the drill. I need my first point aligned with back edge but also above it on the z-axis sO I can achieve that 15 degree / 20 degree angle.

JB – I'm going to second your suggestion for both the Pocket Screw / Dowel and Mortise-and-Tenon tool. These would make my work much easier as well. Thanks.

Hi JB – do you have a method that you'd be willing to share, for how you create Mortise and tenon joints?

Thanks
