    Product Description

    CSI 1.5D Pocket Cutter/Screw Inserter Machine

    With the patented Screw-In-Pocket (SIP) technology, CSI-1.5D cuts Castle’s distinctive, 6 degree low-angle screw pocket, drills a low-angle pilot hole and inserts a flush screw - all in 1.5 seconds.

    Castle’s CSI-1.5D Pocket Cutter/Screw Inserter Machine cuts pockets and inserts screws in one step: pockets with screws, delivered! In customer time tests, CSI’s patented technology reduces assembly time by up to 40%. The CSI-1.5D produces stackable parts in faster production times, reduces waste, and eliminates non-value-added labor in high-capacity production joinery.

    Use the CSI-1.5D with composites, panel and hard or soft wood.

    For best results with the CSI, modified pan head screws are recommended.

      Well worth the investment!

      Posted by Michael Zebrine, Youngsville Cabinets on 20th Apr 2023

      We shave off 4-5 seconds per pocket without having to dig around for screws. Since we do 2,000 to 3,000 pockets per week, the CSI’s labor savings are huge. We’re a small, family-owned business with about 15-20 employees, and the increase in our production, above-and-beyond customer service, and easy operation has also been great for us.
