Pocket joinery has revolutionized woodworking by creating strong, precise joints with hidden fasteners. These joints are ideal for cabinetry, furniture, and face frame construction. Ritter Machinery offers an exceptional lineup of pocket drilling machines designed to enhance productivity, reduce assembly time, and deliver consistent results.

In this article, we’ll highlight the R2061, R2063, R200T, and R220T, diving into each machine's unique features and advantages to help you find the perfect solution for your woodworking needs.

R2061 and R2063: Low-Angle Versatility

R2061 and R2063 are engineered for seamless pocket joinery in cabinet face frame assembly. With a 6° low-angle design, these machines ensure tight, flush joints, reducing misalignment and speeding up production.

Shared Features:

  • Compact footprint for small workshops
  • User-friendly foot pedal operation
  • Two options for table width to support many workpiece sizes

R2061 Features:

  • Single-phase motor (110V, 15A)
  • 1.75 HP router running at 24,500 RPM

R2063 Enhancements:

  • Three-phase motor option (230/460V)
  • Higher durability for industrial applications
  • 2 HP router running at 24,000 RPM

These machines deliver up to a 50% reduction in assembly time, making them ideal for hobbyists, small shops, and industrial operations.

R200T and R220T: Precision and Productivity

R200T and R220T are designed for efficient pocket joinery in face frame construction. Both machines offer robust performance and advanced features. While they share many core capabilities, the R220T enhances productivity with its double spindle design, making it ideal for high-volume operations.

Shared Features:

  • Precision Engineering: Both models use a 14° spindle angle for flush, tight joints without the need for glue or extensive clamping.
  • Streamlined Workflow: Reduce frame construction time by up to 50%, eliminating the need for dowel boring, gluing, and repositioning.
  • Ease of Use: Foot-activated boring cycles and adjustable fences with dual stops make these machines intuitive for operators of all skill levels.
  • Compact Design: Both machines share a manageable footprint of 34.5″ x 25.25″ with a 24″ x 30″ table area, ensuring they fit into a variety of workshop layouts.
  • Specifications:
    • 1.5 HP spindle drive motor
    • 6,100 RPM spindle speed
    • Electrical: 110/120V, 60Hz, 20A

R200T: Single Spindle 

  • Ideal for smaller to mid-scale operations requiring consistent, high-quality joints.
  • Customizable Option: R200T3 (three-phase power)

R220T: Double Spindle 

  • Doubles productivity by drilling two pocket holes simultaneously, making it perfect for high-volume manufacturing.
  • Customizable Options: Includes models like the R220T3 (three-phase power) and the R220T.20 (20mm drill spindle spacing).

With their shared features and distinct capabilities, the R200T and R220T provide versatile solutions for woodworking professionals, from mid-sized shops to large-scale production lines.
