ESSENTIAL JOINERY

CASE BUTT JOINT USING POCKET SCREWS

Using pocket screws to reinforce case butt joints is standard fare and a great choice

for kitchen cabinetmakers. It also works well in any case where face frames or other

materials will conceal the screws.

1. Arrange parts and label them

clearly. Lay out the screw

locations on the board that will

receive the pocket holes.

2. Secure the board in the

pocket screw jig as per the

manufacturer’s instructions and

drill the holes. Pay close attention

to the face you’re drilling into and

how the screws will penetrate into

the adjoining workpiece. Ideally,

we want the screws driving

toward the “meat” of the board,

and not toward the edge. But

sometimes, keeping the pockets

hidden requires exceptions.

3. Apply clamping pressure

to the joint so the boards can’t

move (glue is optional but

certainly doesn’t hurt) and drive

in the screws.
