Guide Review - PSI Woodworking PHJIG3 Pocket Hole Jig Guide Rating: 4.5 Stars
Review With the increased popularity of pocket hole jigs in recent years, there have been a few different manufacturers who have developed pocket hole jigs, from simple to complex. Out of the pocket hole jigs that I've used, I've found the PHJIG3 to be the simplest to use, as well as the most well built. Other than the knobs and pads (for gripping the stock), all parts are manufactured from machined aluminum or hardened steel. There are no plastic parts that might be inclined to break if a tool is dropped on them.
Additionally, the jig is easy and quick to adjust. It takes a moment to get the hang of the adjustment mechanism, mainly because the instruction sheet is a bit hard-to-follow, but once the concept is mastered, this jig is so simple that a ten-year-old (with proper supervision, of course) could use it. The jig will easily make pocket joints for picture frames, mitered frame corner joints, square corner joints, T-joints, curve joints, post and rail joints and pretty much any other type of joint where a pocket joint is appropriate. Some screws are included with the unit, but pocket hole screws from any manufacturer can be used with the jig.
As we noted above, while the included instructions aren't as clear as we like, it should be noted that PSI does give away a free DVD that not only shows how to use the jig but also shows how to build an entire cabinet project.

I want to tell you how pleased I am with your pocket hole jig. It's obvious you are competing with the Kreg K3 Master Pack and you won, hands down. Besides yours being $60 cheaper, it's made from aluminum instead of plastic. Also, it is simple and intuitive to use compared to Kreg's version. I've already given a woodworking friend info on your jig. Thanks again.
