110 Pocket Cutter Machine
Create Castle low-angle, professional pockets in seconds with the Castle 110 Pocket Cutter. The 110 cuts our exclusive low-angle, 3 degree pocket, makes fast, strong, and attractive joints for cabinets, bookcases, face frames, and other woodworking projects while minimizing joint misalignment common with a drilled pocket.
Since the screw’s pilot hole is drilled from the opposite side, there is no accumulation of waste or tear out which allows joined pieces to fit as tightly as possible.

• Factory assembled and adjusted. No additional setup required.
• Designed and assembled in the USA from US and global components.
