Castle machines are made in Petaluma, California, and are manufactured to the highest standards using local vendors wherever possible. John Deere green is used on core pocket hole machines as a nod to American ingenuity.

Our dedication to quality, service, and support is evidenced in our products and our loyal customers spanning over 30 years. We strive to deliver value to our customers, market partners, suppliers, and employees.

It all started when founder Max Durney, then a partner at an architectural millwork firm, was trying to find an assembly solution for store fixtures he was shipping overseas. Max wanted to produce fixtures that could be shipped flat, site-assembled, and which would have strong, stable joints when put together. Max solved his dilemma by creating an entirely new joinery method: pocket cutter joinery. This new method included machining a pocket using a router, drilling a pilot hole from the opposite side, and then fastening the parts with screws through the pocket into the adjoining part.

Many years and numerous patents later, Max’s solution is still known today, industry-wide, as the “Castle low-angle pocket.”

At Castle, our dedication to quality, service, and support is evidenced in our products and in our loyal customer base. We strive to always deliver value to our customers, market partners, suppliers, and employees.
