Hi Michael - What is the rpm range on your Makita?<br/><br/><cite>Michael Hritz said:</cite>
<blockquote><div>I use a corded Makita hammer drill (with the hammer feature deselected) which is pretty much dedicated to the Kreg step bit as I seldom need it to drill concrete. I get cleaner holes than with the cordless & don't have to switch bits. To drive screws I use a 19.2 volt Craftsman. Both drills about 4 yrs old.</div>

I've used my cordless 18 volt many times with the Kreg jig and never had an issue. Mostly on pine but i did use oak once or twice.

I currently use a 18 Volt cordless drill, which has a max rpm of 1200, on the couple of projects I have completed it worked fine. I thought about using a corded drill... but Mine is lost in the garage somewhere, i'll just keep using the cordless until I find my corded. I have only worked with Pine and 3/4" plywood.<br/>

I used my cordless 1400 rpm drill for a pine project I am working on. It drilled the holes with ease. I suspect that in the holes in the exposed area's that I plugged, the tare-out was caused by the slow RPM. I did not notice the tare-out until I inserted the plugs.

Wal-Mart carries a little Black and Decker one speed for under $20. You could probably do one for less on Craigs List. Not much load drilling pocket holes so you don't really need a top shelf drill nor one in top notch condition for that matter.
