KREG Foreman Pocket-Hole Machine - DB210

KREG Foreman Pocket-Hole Machine - DB210

Built with professionals and hobbyists in mind, the Foreman Pocket-Hole Machine is packed with features that will have you building with twice the speed and half the effort of a standard pocket-hole jig. The Foreman DB210 offers all the same features and capabilities of our professional-grade machines in a machine that’s versatile, portable, and extremely affordable.

Extremely Easy To Set Up & Use.

Create pocket holes with amazing speed and accuracy time and time again. Simply pull the large control handle to start the powerful 110-volt motor, clamp your workpiece securely in place, and raise the drill bit through the table. This simple operation drills a precisely-placed pocket hole at the perfect depth in materials from 1/2" to 1 1/2" (12-38mm) thick.

Precise Pocket Depth & Repeatable Accuracy.

To ensure perfect pocket hole placement, the Foreman DB210 features a tool-free adjustable fence that positions your workpiece for precise pocket depth, and a pair of adjustable, spring-loaded stops that provide repeatable accuracy. Plus, clear markings in the table make it easy to position the fence for your material thickness.

Creates All Three Types Of Kreg Joints.

The Foreman comes with a standard 3/8" Kreg stepped drill bit to get you started — for materials from 1/2" to 1 1/2" (12-38mm) thick. It’s also compatible with the Kreg Micro-Pocket™ Bit to create more compact pocket holes in thinner stock, and the Kreg Heavy-Duty Bit for creating strong joints in 1 1/2" (38mm) stock.

Portable & Durable.

The Foreman’s lightweight yet durable construction allows for hassle-free transportation — perfect for use in your shop, around your home, and on the go. Even with this portability, the Foreman still features a large table with ample workspace.

Built-In Storage & Dust Collection.

You’ll love the built-in storage tray — the perfect place to store extra bits and accessories, keeping them close at hand. The Foreman also includes a dust collection attachment to keep your work area clean.

Maintenance Tips

1. Clean Chips & Dust – After use, remove wood chips and dust from the machine base and around the drill area to prevent buildup and maintain smooth operation.

2. Keep Motor & Base Clean – Regularly wipe the motor and table clean; debris can interfere with clamping and drilling accuracy.

3. Lubricate Guide Rods – Periodically apply a dry‑film lubricant to the guide rods and clamping linkage so moving parts stay free and reduce wear.

4. Use Sharp Bits – Replace or clean the stepped drill bit when it dulls (typically after thousands of holes) to ensure clean pocket holes and less strain on the machine.

5. Inspect Fasteners – Check and tighten any loose bolts or fence hardware before each use to maintain repeatable accuracy.

6. Store Dry – Keep the machine in a dry, covered area to protect electrical and metal components from moisture and rust.
