Jigs and fixtures for aligning, guiding, and/or holding a workpiece on woodworking machinery during a woodworking operation are described, as well as methods of making, modifying, and using jigs and fixtures.

In an exemplary embodiment, a template for locating and drilling one or more holes in a door is provided. The template may include a body member having a first side portion, a second side portion, and a middle portion. The middle portion can be between the first side portion and the second side portion forming a profile that is configured to cooperatively engage with a portion of the door. The profile can include at least one curved portion to correspond to a curved portion of the portion of the door.

A core drill includes a housing and a battery pack attachable to the housing for powering the core drill. The core drill is configured to be operated while being carried on a drill stand. The core drill is configured to be operated independently of and detached from the drill stand. The core drill is configured to be carried by an operator's hand while the core drill is not being carried on the drill stand.

A wheel hub special drilling device comprises a main shaft transmission device, which has a transmission mechanism base and a transmission mechanism mounted on the transmission mechanism base, wherein the transmission mechanism comprises an X-axis transmission mechanism, a Y-axis transmission mechanism and a Z-axis transmission mechanism which are used for respectively moving a main shaft in three vertical axial directions; a main shaft, which is mounted on the vertical Z-axis transmission mechanism; a drilling tool, which is mounted on the main shaft and is rotationally driven by the main shaft; a clamp device, which is used for clamping and fixing a wheel hub to be processed.

A quick adjust ratcheting pocket hole jig is presented. The pocket hole jig has a base with a removable upright connected thereto. A guide assembly is slidably received within the upright. Removable and replaceable side supports are connected to the base by way of a dove tail joint. Removable and replaceable adjustable stops are connected to the base by way of key holes. A clamp assembly is connected to the base having a handle portion and a clamp follower. The clamp follower has a ratcheting mechanism and a compressible plunger assembly. The clamp follower can quickly be adjusted using a button on the clamp follower that disengages the ratcheting member such that it can be quickly adjusted. When the handle is operated, it draws the clamp follower towards the upright and guide assembly compressing the spring loaded plunger assembly thereby quickly and tightly and adjustably holding a workpiece therebetween.

A system and method for drilling a hole in a vehicle structure and installing a fastener in the hole. A drill plate having openings and associated machine-readable elements is positioned on the structure. A drill gun is positioned in a particular opening and reads hole information from the associated element, and a computer determines whether the drill gun is properly set-up to drill the hole. A fastener insertion gun is positioned in the particular opening and reads fastener information from the element, and the computer determines whether the hole has been drilled and, if so, whether the fastener insertion gun is properly set-up to insert the fastener. A fastener delivery subsystem stores, tracks, and delivers fasteners to the fastener insertion gun. A system computer monitors the drilling of every hole, the insertion of every fastener, and the overall operation of the fastener delivery subsystem.

A pocket hole jig includes base with a base plate and first and second lateral side walls extending along the base plate, and a body disposed between the first and second lateral side walls and slidable along the base in a forward direction and a rearward direction. The body includes a drill bit aperture angled downward toward the base plate. The pocket hole jig also includes a fence movable between a raised position and a lowered position and having a contact surface engageable with an end of the workpiece when the fence is in the lowered position to position the base a predetermined distance from the end of the workpiece. The contact surface is in a first position when the fence is in the raised position and a second position when the fence is in the lowered position. The second position is forward of the first position.

A system and a method include a fixture template configured to be secured to a component. The fixture template includes a plurality of insert holes. A plurality of guide inserts have channels. Each of the channels has an orientation. The orientation of at least two of the plurality of guide inserts differs. Each of the plurality of guide inserts is removably secured within a respective one of the plurality of inserts holes to position and orient the channels in relation to a pattern of openings to be formed in relation to the component. Each of the channels is configured to receive an operative member of a tool that is configured to form the pattern of openings in relation to the component.
