POCKET HOLE JIG
First Claim
1. A pocket hole jig for locating pocket holes in a workpiece, the pocket hole jig comprising:
- a base including a base plate and first and second lateral side walls extending along the base plate;
a body disposed between the first and second lateral side walls and slidable along the base in a first direction and a second direction opposite the first direction, the body including a drill bit aperture angled relative to the base plate; and
a fence movable between a raised position and a lowered position, the fence including a first contact surface and a second contact surface opposite the first contact surface,wherein, with the body in a position relative to the base, the first contact surface is engageable with an end of the workpiece with the fence in the lowered position to place the base a predetermined distance from the end of the workpiece, andwherein, with the body in the position relative to the base, the second contact surface is engageable with a face of a second workpiece abutting the end of the workpiece with the fence in the raised position to place the base the predetermined distance from the end of the workpiece.

Abstract
A pocket hole jig includes base with a base plate and first and second lateral side walls extending along the base plate, and a body disposed between the first and second lateral side walls and slidable along the base in a forward direction and a rearward direction. The body includes a drill bit aperture angled downward toward the base plate. The pocket hole jig also includes a fence movable between a raised position and a lowered position and having a contact surface engageable with an end of the workpiece when the fence is in the lowered position to position the base a predetermined distance from the end of the workpiece. The contact surface is in a first position when the fence is in the raised position and a second position when the fence is in the lowered position. The second position is forward of the first position.
