Pocket hole jig

A pocket hole jig comprising:

• a base;
• a clamp assembly including an actuatable clamp head;
• a first drill guide mounted to the base, the drill guide defining a first workpiece support, the clamp head actuatable towards the first workpiece support to clamp a workpiece between the clamp head and the first workpiece support;
• a mounting system mounting the clamp assembly to the base, the mounting system including a slide arrangement and a blocking arrangement, the slide arrangement permitting sliding the clamp assembly along an adjustment axis that is orthogonal to the first workpiece support between at least a first position and a second position defined by the blocking arrangement along the adjustment axis;
• and
• wherein:
• the blocking arrangement includes first and second blocking members, the first blocking member defines a first abutment against which the clamp assembly abuts when the clamp assembly is in the first position along the adjustment axis and the second blocking member defines a second abutment against which the clamp assembly abuts when the clamp assembly is in the second position along the adjustment axis;
• the second abutment is positioned axially between the first abutment and the first workpiece support along the adjustment axis;
• and
• the second blocking member is movable relative to the base so as to allow the clamp assembly to slide past the second blocking member as the clamp assembly transitions from the second position to the first position as the clamp assembly moves away from the first workpiece support along the adjustment axis;
• the second blocking member is operably rotatably attached to the base for rotation between a blocking position and an unblocking position;
• when the second blocking member is in the blocking position, the second blocking member blocks the motion of the clamp assembly along the adjustment axis such that the clamp assembly is incapable of transitioning past the second position to the first position;
• and
• when the second blocking member is in the unblocking position, the second blocking member does not block the motion of the clamp assembly along the adjustment axis such that the clamp assembly is capable of transitioning past the second position to the first position.
