A hardened steel bushing probably will be more accurate, certainly more accurate over time. A $15.00 upgrade and probably worthwhile. Are you open to sharing the design with others? https://www.mscdirect.com/products/bushi...069777_c_S

The copper bushing, I'm still using my prototype cutter in the shop. It's about 20-22 (correction) years old. It's on it's second copper bushing, after doing kitchen cabinets all those years. 4 degree hole angle.

making a machine like that is an interesting sideline. I have no room for something like that, but I would love to see a video of it working.

I have the single Kreig jig. I have used it a lot for face frames and cabinets. So easy to use so that makes me use it often. I have found no need to get a bigger set. Doesn't take very long to drill holes for a cabinet. The big key is to make sure you clamp boards well that you are screwing together; the boards will move.

Always use the right tool for the job. We need to clean house.

Where there is no structural stress on the joint, certainly face frames, and I can see using it for utility pieces. But for traditional furniture, my preference is traditional joinery..... when I'm reincarnated in 200 years I want to see my work on the Antique Road Show! I couldn't agree more. To me pocket hole joinery is the modern equivalent of a lazy man's way out. SORRY IF I HAVE OFFENDED ANYONE. I have been using dowels and and mortise and tenon joints since I started woodworking 60 plus years ago. Yes it takes longer, but craftsmanship is worth the effort ..... IMHO pocket holes are NOT craftsmanship.

SORRY IF I HAVE OFFENDED ANYONE.I have an antique claw foot table, and anopther round oak table. Both have the skirt attached with pocket hole screws. They have been used for a long time. Up until now, I thought the craftsmanship of the table was fine. Live and learn. What is the proper way to attach the skirt? Pocket holes seems to be a great way to do it.
