Does anyone have the porter cable pocket hole cutter machine and do you know if it can be modified to accept thicker material than 15/16″. I want to use it for face frame joints, and I tipically make my frames 1 1/16″ thick. The only other machine I considered is the Castle machine but it’s to expensive for my small shop.

A friend of mine has had a air powered krieg jig model for the past 4 years and loves it. I have used it and the porter cable/router model and I by far prefer the Kreig brand.
I agree with Migraine. I have used the Porter Cable pocket hole machine and I own the Kreg. I much perfer the Kreg. With the Porter Cable you have a router and a drill motor. With the Kreg all you have is the drill motor operated by air. The Kreg will accept thicker material than the Porter Cable. I believe it is up to 2"???
Hope this helps,
