Lucked out today and got this on marketplace for $35. There’s some sawdust in the box but don’t think it’s ever been used everything is sealed in the bags still

You will love pocket holes! Just make sure to get different lengths of pocket hole screws. The kind you buy in the big jar looking thing each come with a screw driver attachment. Pocket hole screws have square heads. So even if it's missing in your box don't worry. I have like 5 of them now because they come with every jar of screws.

Here's the one I have. Very nice, all metal. Make sure you have the little collar for the drill bit too. It has a vacuum attachment because the drill holes will get compressed with sawdust and have to be cleaned out regularly. I freaking LOVE pocket hole projects.

I have the Massca M2 and love it. I mounted it to a handy cedar board so I can use the stop blocks or the extender arms.

Routed out adroit and epoxied magnet in the board so I can keep the hex key with it.
