Patent ID: RE44289

Claim:
An apparatus for drilling pocket-holes into a workpiece for use cooperatively with a step- drill, comprising: a body , said body having a planar work surface defining a plane ; a drilling module positioned below said work surface at an acute angle for cutting the pocket-hole, said drilling module having a motor for driving the step- drill, wherein said drilling module is movable in a drilling direction from a first position to a second position by an actuator, wherein the step-drill whereby the drill is below the work surface in a first position and at least a portion of the drill intersects said plane planar work surface in a second position ; a fence for positioning a workpiece, said fence mounted on said work surface at substantially a right angle with respect to said drilling direction to position a workpiece ; and at least one initiation switch disposed on said work surface and having a relationship with the said workpiece so as to cause the permit said actuator to move said drilling module when the workpiece urges actuates said switch.
