I have the Kreg pocket hole jig and for the most part, it works great. The problem is the clamping handle can be difficult to operate when drilling pocket holes in panels, such as those used to build cabinets. It seems no matter how careful I am, I still manage to scrape my arm, which bruises or scrapes easily.
I have priced the production model Kreg machines and they are too costly for me. $800 and up.
What I would like to do is modify my jig so the clamping mechanism can be either electrically or pneumatically actuated each time I need to clamp (or unclamp) the piece I am working on.
Any ideas or suggestions appreciated.
Thanks
Mike
