Pocket holes in corner braces

I do those on the drill press
Welcome to LJ’s

-- Gary, DeKalb Texas

drill the pocket into the top(the side that contacts the bottom of the tabletop) of the bracket on each side, not the angled edge. that way you can be perpendicular to the sides. once the top is on, it will hide the pocket holes.

Make sure as well that you are away from the corner. Leave at least a minimum of 5 mm. before the corner join. This allows for a bit of play.
What I do is glue the 45deg cuts and panel nail it to the frame. once firm I can then go in and drill pilot holes to secure it properly. then drill a hole to screw to pull the top down to the corner braces.
