Product Description Semi-Automatic, FOREMAN Pocket Hole Machine. When your production needs have outpaced the manual Kreg Jigs, look for the added speed and convenience of the FOREMAN Pocket Hole Machine. The semi-automatic FOREMAN features an electric drill motor and an adjustable clamping cylinder. To operate, simply position your material to be drilled and pull the lever forward.

Customer Reviews: Great Tool, Refreshing ServiceAugust 6, 2009 Rob J. Haworth(Sacramento, CA) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I bought this a few years ago and have enjoyed increased productivity with it. However, the bushing around the motor mount shredded and it was unusable. I emailed Kreg and asked how I could purchase a replacement part. They replied that the part was a problem that had been improved in subsequent models. They took my address and shipped me an entire new motor and guide plate free of charge. That is the kind of customer service I wish all companies had. The tool is fantastic and now I know the company is too.
Great Concept - Average QualityMarch 23, 2009 T. Curran I own this tool and have used it in a home shop (very light duty) for a couple of years. The welds that connect the lever arm to the actuator rod cracked. I contacted Kreg and was told I had to purchase a new actuator arm. I was expecting better service from Kreg and have been happy with their other products. I ended up repairing the unit myself thanks to a welder friend but was disappointed in Kreg Tools support and my opinion of the company has been lowered a notch.
Great tool and great supportOctober 13, 2008 Bob Robesky(Fresno, CA USA) 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I purchased the Kreg DB110 Foreman from amazon.com in September of 2006. It has worked flawlessly until this Saturday when a part on the arm broke.
This morning I called Kreg Tools and they are sending me a new arm for no cost.
This is a great tool which is supported by a company that actually backs its products. I am impressed. What could be better?

Great machine for production work. I have stopped using biscuits on my miters and switched to pocket screws, joints hold tite even with changes in humidity. Item would have received 5 stars but I had to add spacer block on arm that activates switch in back of unit.
