A pocket hole jig system is formed of a plurality of jig segments, wherein each jig segment includes a main body having a drill guide and a lock feature that protrudes outward on a first side of the main body and a recess that protrudes inward on a second side of the main body. The system also includes one or more spacers that have a main body of varying width and a lock feature that protrudes outward on a first side of the main body and a recess that protrudes inward on a second side of the main body. Jig segments and spacers may be connected together by inserting the lock feature of a jig segment or spacer into the recess of an adjacent jig segment or spacer. In one arrangement opposing jig segments and/or spacers lock together with a combination of rotational movement as well as sliding movement.

An adjustable drill jig system for drilling holes in a workpiece includes a first T-shaped element having a stem and a crossbar; a first guide engaged with the stem, the first guide having a stop plate extending perpendicular to the stem; a double bracket having a first channel and a second channel, the first channel to engage with the crossbar; an extension ruler engaged with the second channel of the double bracket and extending away from the cross bar; and a second guide having a drill bushing; the second guide is to engage with the crossbar or the extension ruler for placement of the drill bushing; and the adjustable drill jib system allows for drilling one or more holes in the workpiece.

Provided is a cutting tool including: a head portion which includes an insert mounting seat on which a cutting insert is installed; a shank which is installed on the rear end side of the head portion and holds the head portion; and a bolt which fixes a position of the head portion with respect to the shank when the head portion is mounted on the shank. The head portion is configured to be mountable to the shank, with the angle thereof changing around a center axis.

A pocket hole jig with screw sizing system includes a pocket hole jig with a guide block reciprocally carried by a guide holder. The guide block can be raised or lowered relative the guide holder between a range of distances corresponding and calibrated to a horizontal range defined by a workpiece. A scale on a gauge member carried by the guide block is divided into a plurality of zones. An indicator is carried by the guide holder for indicating one of the plurality of zones by the position of the guide block relative the guide holder. Also provided is a series of different size screws, wherein each different size screw of the series corresponds to one of the plurality of zones.

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.

An adjustable angle toolholder comprising a shank and an adjustable head is provided. The shank has a first end and a second end. The first end is adapted to be held in a machine, such as a lathe. The second end includes a fixed plane oriented parallel to a lengthwise direction of the shank. The fixed plane includes an arcuate face at a distal end of the fixed plane. The head has a fixed plane that mates with the fixed plane of the shank. The fixed planes of the shank and head include a pivot hole through which a pivot bolt passes. The pivot bolt allows adjustment of the head through a wide range of angles relative to a lengthwise direction of the shank, while the fixed planes maintain a position of a centerline of a cutting tool constant with respect to a centerline of the shank. The fixed plane of the shank may be on a centerline of the shank.

The invention relates to jig apparatus (2) for use in the positioning of a workpiece (22) in which one or more apertures are to be formed using a power tool (25), said jig including at least one elongate member (30, 32, 34), which is extendable from a side of the base (4) of the jig and connected thereto via engagement means (40). A locator (56) is selectively positionable on the elongate member and lockable in the said selected position to allow the workpiece to be located therewith and thereby locate the workpiece in a required position with respect to the jig apparatus.

A refacing tool includes a feed assembly that holds a first set of cutters positioned for refacing the inner shoulder of a pin or box end of a tubular and a second set of cutters positioned for refacing the outer shoulder of the pin or box end. The axial spacing between the first set of cutters and the second set of cutters is fixed and determined by the geometry of the feed assembly. The refacing tool can simultaneously reface the inner shoulder and the outer shoulder, as well as chamfers.

A rotary cutting tool includes a tool holder. The tool holder has holder body and an adjustment sleeve circumferentially disposed thereabout. The adjustment sleeve has an at least one sleeve adjustment groove which decreases in distance from a sleeve central axis in a rotational sleeve direction. The tool holder further has a plurality of insert cartridges, each having an insert pocket and at least one cartridge pin. At least one pin is located in a respective sleeve adjustment groove. The tool holder is adjustable between inner and outer adjusted positions by rotating the adjustment sleeve in the rotational sleeve direction. In the outer adjusted position, the insert cartridges are displaced in an outwards adjusted direction so that the insert pockets are radially outwards compared to the inner adjustment position.
