First Claim
1. A self-adjusting pocket hole jig comprising:
- a base having a clamp end and a toggle end;
a guide carried by the base intermediate the clamp end and the toggle end, and reciprocally movable between a raised position and a lowered position, the guide including at least one guide channels;
a clamp assembly carried by the base and reciprocally movable between an engaged position when moved toward the guide and a disengaged position when moved away from the guide; and
an adjustment mechanism coupled between the guide and the clamp assembly, the adjustment mechanism arranged to move the clamp assembly in a forward direction to the engaged position and correspondingly move the guide in a downward direction to the lowered position, and arranged to move the clamp assembly in a rearward direction to the disengaged position and correspondingly move the guide in an upward direction to the raised position.
