Thanks for everyone's advise. The machine wasn't like the Porter Cabl


552 or the stationary Kreg machine. I guess I'll have to see if my ol employer still has his shop and and running.

The machine I'm looking for is more like a router motor that pivots i a frame - as it pivots downward it cuts the pocket while a clampin mechanism built into the machine holds the piece of the face-frame tha is being cut in position. The pilot hole is then bored manually, bu the tool acts as a guide to get the hole in the right spot.


By the way, there is a stationary Kreg pocket hole machine ebay righ now...no affiliation, yada yada yada.

I remember Norm using a machine like this way back when he was cutting pocket holes.

Sorry I missed the original question. I believe you're talking about a Porter-Cable model 550. I have a couple of pictures of one at my website in the Norm's Tools section
