Safety Speed SPM301HD Screw Pocket Machine

The SPM301HD features  a heavy-duty, direct drive continuous electric spindle motor for those jobs that just keep on coming.  Unlike others of its kind, the SPM301HD features cam-driven action providing fast, smooth cutting action under complete mechanical control throughout the machine cycle. The new pilot air drill and end mill produce superior low-angle 6 degree screw pockets. Requires standard 220V and 6.2 CFM at 90 PSI based on 25% load factor, 25% duty cycle.

Pocket-hole joinery for high production woodworkers made easy with our SPM301HD Screw Pocket Machine.

1. A spindle motor just like the ones in a CNC machine, running continuously with minimal maintenance
2. An air drill replacing a router motor

A two-in-one motion simultaneously drills a six degree pilot hole and machines a screw pocket in under a second on most wood species.  The SPM301HD features a heavy-duty, direct drive continuous electric spindle motor, allowing for continuous pocketing production. Learn how Moore’s Country Woodcrafting, Inc doubled screw pocketing production and began pocketing one million screw pockets per year with this machine.

Maintenance Tips

• Daily Cleaning: After each use, clean the machine to remove sawdust and debris from the pocketing area, feed system, and motor using compressed air or a soft cloth.
• Inspect and Tighten Parts: Regularly check all bolts, screws, and fasteners, especially on the feed mechanism and cutter assembly, to ensure they are securely tightened.
• Lubricate Moving Parts: Apply lubricant to all moving parts, including the feed system and cutter assemblies, to reduce friction and ensure smooth operation.
• Check Cutting Tools: Inspect the cutter blades for dullness, chips, or wear. Replace or sharpen them as necessary to maintain precision and quality.
• Inspect Feed System: Check the feed rollers and guide tracks for wear or debris buildup. Clean and lubricate the rollers to ensure consistent material feeding.
• Monitor Motor Performance: Inspect the motor for signs of overheating or wear. Ensure the motor is properly lubricated and functioning efficiently.
• Dust Collection Maintenance: Ensure the dust collection system is working correctly, with hoses clear of blockages, and clean or replace filters as needed for optimal performance.
