Abstract
The pocket drilling fixture has a clamp base with a clamp face thereon. Opposing it is a clamp body with an opposing clamp face. Clamp structure, including a clamp arm on the base urges the faces together to clamp over a workpiece therebetween in a clamping direction. A guide carrier is mounted on the base to move in the direction at a right angle to the clamping direction. The base has a turret thereon with stops which can be positioned beneath the guide carrier to set its height above the base so that height can be preselected, depending on the workpiece thickness.
Claims21
An adjustable pocket drilling fixture comprising:
- a base, a clamping face on said base, said clamping face defining a plane;
- a clamp body, a clamping face on said clamp body opposing said clamping face on said base;
- clamping structure interengaging said clamp body and said base, said clamping structure including a clamp actuator positioned adjacent said base to move said clamp body in a clamping direction;
- a guide carrier, at least one drill guide in said guide carrier, said drill guide having an axis which intersects said plane of said clamping face on said base, said guide carrier being slidably mounted on said base to move in a direction parallel to said plane;
- and
- gaging structure between said base and said guide carrier so that said guide carrier can be positioned at a predetermined distance from said base.
An adjustable pocket drilling fixture comprising:
- a base, a substantially planar clamping face on said base;
- a clamp body, a clamping face on said body facing said clamp face on said base;
- clamping structure interengaging said base and said clamp body to move said clamp body toward said base;
- a guide carrier movably mounted on said base to move substantially parallel to said clamping faces;
- measuring structure selectively positionable between said base and said guide carrier so that said guide carrier can be positioned a selected distance above said base so that the position of a pocket hole to be drilled in a workpiece engaged between said clamping faces can be selected.
