It's great but even perplexing to locate such a tremendous selection of portable power tools at home centers as well as in teleshopping catalog. My advice on purchasing these tools is to try them out whenever you can. Although it's not possible to operate these tools at a home center, you may test how much they weigh and feel and see how effectively the controls and adjustments work for you. It's also wise to solicit brand and model priorities from experienced woodworkers. For speed and comfort, combine a cordless drill with quick-change drill-and-drive accessories. This is the device you'll be using in and day out for almost any cabinet-making project. You may require a drill to bore pocket and pilot holes for screws and also to drive screws when putting together cabinet cases, face frames and bases. Though I have a corded drill, I personally use cordless versions for all but the most power-hungry projects, such as using a saw hole cutter while setting up cabinets.

There are numerous good cordless drill / drivers in the marketplace. For cabinet-making, a 12 or 14 volt model provides a lot more than adequate power. Make sure that your drill/driver kit includes an additional battery and so you don't have to stop operating when one battery runs out of power. To get the most from this power tool, you'll even need some quick-change bit add-ons. Purchase a basic set of "drill and drive" bits, including combination countersink counter bore pieces and Philips head bits in several measures. This will set you up well for pocket-hole joinery and assembly task.

Fast, strong, and undoable, joinery with pocket anchoring screws is very beneficial in cabinet construction. A pocket-hole jig with a toggle clamps is needed to bore a pair of holes in a face-frame rail.

Pocket-hole-jigs

Pocket-hole joinery goes back to ancient Egypt. Today, pocket-hole jigs have helped woodworkers in saving time and simplify joinery details without sacrificing quality or durability. Major cupboard manufacturers have pocket-hole equipment with pneumatic clamps and other advanced attributes. I have a few basic pocket-hole jigs that I employ for various joints. These jigs are inexpensive and very easy to use. They are made to guide a drill bit so that it bores a pilot hole at a shallow angle. The mating part is then clamped against the part with the pocket-hole so that the joint can be hosed fast with special self-drilling pan head anchoring screws.
