Steelex D1060 pocket hole

A difficult product to use. It tends to slide too much even with the right clamp. I recommend Herculiner Truck Body Spray to stabilize the underbody and protect the guide from excessive vibration and movement. A second clamp is also useful for holding both rails. For best results, the manufacturer recommends a 3/8" step drill with a 1/4" tip. Remember that the bits are quite large and cannot touch the ferrous metal pilot holes into which the bits are inserted, otherwise the metal will easily grind and deform unevenly. This is not an isolated case, as other reviewers point out. The pilot holes are the worst and poorest quality part of this product which makes it a shame. The adjustable clamp is the only benefit of this tool as it easily sets the correct distance between pocket holes without an extra ruler.

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • A few small things
