This woodworking tool creates angled holes to join pieces of wood, typically for concealed joinery. A drill bit, guided by a jig, bores through one board at an angle, allowing a screw to be driven into the mating board, creating a strong and often invisible joint. This technique is frequently employed in cabinetmaking, furniture construction, and various do-it-yourself projects.
The angled joinery offers significant advantages in terms of strength and aesthetics. The oblique screw penetration maximizes wood fiber engagement, resulting in a robust joint. Furthermore, hiding the screw heads enhances the finished project’s appearance. This method has become increasingly popular in modern woodworking due to its efficiency and the availability of increasingly sophisticated, user-friendly tools. This approach represents a significant advancement compared to traditional joinery methods, offering a simplified process for achieving professional-quality results.
