Kreg Forman versus Shop Fox w1833

[Bobby Robbinett]

Looking into getting a pocket hole machine. I am debating between these two. Any one directly compared them? Do they have the same angle? Does one cycle faster than the other one?

Folks will be able to make better recommendations if you can speak to how heavy your use will be. Personally, if I was going to buy a machine for this, I'd be looking at those that have the much flatter angle, like Castile, because they offer advantages when putting the jointery together. The Forman, AFAIK, doesn't provide that. I'm not familiar with the Shop Fox.
