KREG Single-Spindle Pneumatic Pocket-Hole Machine - DK1100 FP
The DK1100 series of machines are the standard in the industry for drilling a single pocket hole at a time. We’ve packed a ton of functional features into these machines that really set them apart from the competition. Choose from electric- or pneumatic-powered, freestanding or bench-mounted to fit the way you build. Each DK1100 machine is built with true industrial-grade motors that provide the power to run day after day – quickly and reliably – in even the most high-production environments. For most shops, this translates into previously unheard of productivity and efficiency.
Already set up for pneumatic? This model features an industrial grade 1 1/4-HP pneumatic motor capable of the same pocket hole productivity as the electric version. Requires a compressor able to produce 8 CFM at 120 PSI (50% duty cycle).
Convenient Swing Stops.
Quickly position two pocket holes across rails of various widths by placing it against one stop, drilling the hole, and then repeating with the rail against the other stop. For drilling pocket holes in panels, the stops simply swing out of the way.
Adjustable Fence.
Adjustments couldn’t be easier. The fence adjusts right from the top side of the machine to let you center a screw in 1/2"- to 1 1/2"-thick material. The clamp hold-down also adjusts to allow materials up to 4"-thick to be drilled.
Quick Drill Bit Changes.
Changing drill bits is a quick and simple process. Simply loosen the collet with the provided Allen wrench, replace with a new bit, and you are back in production in less than 60 seconds.
Long-Lasting Motors.
The industrial-grade motors used in Kreg machines are built for long-lasting service. Kreg machines are designed to minimize stress on moving parts, greatly reducing the likelihood of failure.

Q&A
Q: What is this machine?
A: A professional‑grade multi‑spindle pocket‑hole drilling machine designed to speed up joinery work by drilling multiple pocket holes in one cycle — ideal for cabinetry, face‑frames, and furniture production.
Q: How does it improve productivity?
A: With three spindles, it drills two pocket holes simultaneously and offers three on‑center spacing options (¾″, 1″, 1‑¾″) to match common rail widths — doubling throughput compared to single‑spindle units.
Q: What makes it easy and fast to use?
A: A one‑touch foot‑pedal operation triggers drilling, and the lift‑off top allows quick access for bit changes in under a minute.
Q: What features boost durability and accuracy?
A: A hardened‑steel drill guide improves bit life and ensures precise pocket holes, while Swing Stops™ optimize material positioning and dust chutes help manage chips.
Q: What are the key specs?
A: Powered by a 1.5‑HP 110 V motor with a 1‑second cycle time, it handles material up to about 1½″ thick and includes the machine and owner’s manual.
Q: Who is this tool for?
A: Designed for professional woodworkers, cabinet shops, and serious DIYers who need reliable, high‑capacity pocket‑hole drilling performance.
Q: Why choose a multi‑spindle machine?
A: It significantly reduces drilling time and improves workflow on repetitive joinery tasks, helping increase output and shop efficiency.
Maintenance Tips
-
Keep Debris Cleaned Out – Remove wood chips and dust from drill guides, clamps, and around the drill area after use to keep drilling smooth and accurate.
-
Lubricate Pneumatic Drill – Monthly, apply a few pumps of grease (e.g., Sta‑Lube Moly‑Graph multi‑purpose) via the grease zerk fitting on the pneumatic drill to reduce wear and maintain smooth operation. Disconnect air first.
-
Inspect & Tighten Fasteners – Regularly check and tighten bolts, clamps, and hose connections to ensure stable operation and safety before each session.
-
Check Drill Bits Often – Replace or re‑sharpen worn stepped drill bits quickly to maintain clean pocket holes and reduce strain on machine components.
-
Drain Air Filter – Periodically drain the pneumatic system’s air filter to remove moisture and keep clean compressed air flowing. Disconnect air supply before draining.
-
Avoid Moisture & Rust – Keep the machine in a dry, well‑ventilated shop to protect internal parts and the pneumatic components from corrosion and moisture damage.
