Pockets with Screws....DELIVERED

CSINext

 

Castle's CSI-Next Pocket Cutter/Screw Inserter saves time, reduces waste, and eliminates non-value-added labor and screw-handling motion trauma for high-production cabinet joinery.

By using patented Screw-in-Pocket (SIP) technology CSI-Next cuts Castle’s distinctive screw pocket, drills a low angle pilot hole AND inserts a flush, stackable screw in two seconds. CSI-Next provides faster production time by eliminating screw handling at assembly.

Using the Castle CSI Pocket Cutter/Screw Inserter can cut your assembly time nearly in half!

How it Works:
1. Work piece is placed in position by operator
2. Pressing the foot switch extends stock clamp
3. Router lifts and rotates into work piece as screw falls into insertion position
4. Drill activates, rapidly extends into the work piece, then retracts
5. Driver assembly moves forward, inserting the screw, then quickly retracts
6. Stock clamp releases the work piece
7. The cycle is ready to repeat!
