Abstract
A portable pocket cutter employs a shaping assembly and a boring assembly, connected via a frame and coupling assembly, for constructing a pocket joint in a workpiece. The frame is at least partially supported upon a workpiece. The shaping assembly is pivotally connected with the frame and further connects with a first bit for shaping a recess in a planar surface of the workpiece. The boring assembly is also connected with the frame and further connects with a second bit for boring a through aperture into an edge of the workpiece, the edge being generally perpendicular to the planar surface.
Claims20
A portable pocket cutter for forming a pocket joint in a workpiece, comprising:
- a frame including a body having a first end and a second end, the second end configured for being supported upon a planar surface of the workpiece;
- a shaping assembly connected with the frame, the shaping assembly for shaping a recess in the planar surface of the workpiece;
- and
- a boring assembly connected with the frame, the boring assembly for boring a through aperture into an edge of the workpiece in a generally perpendicular orientation with respect to the edge of the workpiece, the edge being generally perpendicular to the planar surface,
- wherein at least one of the shaping assembly and the boring assembly is biased by a biasing element towards the disengaged position.
A portable pocket cutter for forming a pocket joint in a workpiece, comprising:
- a frame including a body having a first end and a second end, the second end configured for being supported upon a planar surface of the workpiece;
- a shaping assembly connected with the frame, the shaping assembly for shaping a recess in the planar surface of the workpiece;
- a boring assembly connected with the frame, the boring assembly for boring a through aperture into an edge of the workpiece in a generally perpendicular orientation with respect to the edge of the workpiece, the edge being generally perpendicular to the planar surface;
- and
- a coupling assembly connected to the frame for connecting the shaping assembly with the boring assembly thereby allowing a user to adjust both the shaping assembly and the boring assembly via adjustment of either the boring assembly or the shaping assembly.
A portable pocket cutter for forming a pocket joint in a workpiece comprising:
- means for forming a recess within a planar surface of the workpiece;
- means for boring a through aperture into an edge of the workpiece in a generally perpendicular orientation with respect to the edge of the workpiece, the edge being generally perpendicular to the planar surface;
- and
- means for connecting the forming means with the boring means, the connecting means allows a user to adjust both the forming means and the boring means via adjustment of either the boring means or the forming means.
