Pocket hole cutters

[Jim Hager]

I have been looking lately at the difference betweent he kreg "forman" pocket hole cutter and the porter cable pocket hole machine. I like the kreg forman jig best but I don't want to pass on the porter cable machine if it is a good machine and a better buy.

Any of you guys got experience with either of these macines? If so please post your pluses and minuses so I can make a more educated decision.:confused: The kreg jig sells for around $750 and the porter cable I don't know right now.

Hi Jim,


I use one of the Kreg kits, not the machine. I think both will do a fine job though. I don't do enough face frame work to justify the stand alone dedicated pocket machine. When I am finished using my Kreg I just hang it back on the pegboard wall until next time.
