It’s time to upgrade my pocket hole setup. I’ve used the old Kreg system for years to make and attach face frames. I average 3-4 custom cabinet projects a year, so I’m far from being a production shop.
I’m taking a hard look at the Castle TSM-12, but the price is stopping me. At $1800, it’s hard to imagine I’ll save enough time to make it worth it over a Kreg Foreman.
I guess what I’m asking is whether the low angle pocket is really that much better? Does it completely stop the shifting? Do you do less sanding? How about wood splitting when you’re near screwing near the end of a stile?
