A specialized jig, often bench-mounted, facilitates the creation of angled holes for concealed fasteners in woodworking projects. This joinery technique, employing self-tapping screws, offers exceptional strength and a clean, professional finish by hiding screw heads. An example application is assembling cabinetry or furniture frames with robust yet invisible joinery.
This method significantly speeds up assembly compared to traditional methods, while also requiring minimal clamping during the process. The historical development of these tools reflects a move towards greater efficiency and precision in furniture construction, eliminating the need for complex joinery or visible hardware. The resulting strength and aesthetically pleasing results have made it a mainstay in both professional and amateur woodworking.
