Input:
Question: To set the guide, do you use the actual width, or the stated width of the wood.  For example, a 1x4 really isn't 1".
Document: The jig itself was easy to set. Couldn't be simpler.But when I went to set the depth collar on the drill bit, I got confused...The drill collar guide has markings on it which show where to put the collar for each of the main wood thicknesses. Every wood thickness has it's own mark, EXCEPT the 1 1/4" wood thickness, and the 1 1/2" thickness. There is one mark for both of these.
As other reviewers have stated, this jig is entirely plastic with the exception of the guide bores. So far, this hasn't been a problem. With the lifetime warranty on the bores, I'm not too concerned with it. So far, I'm extremely happy with the jig. One thing to note for first time pocketholers, this is a 3/8" step drill bit so the minimum size board that you can pocket hole, is 1/2". This is standard across the Kreg product line.
For example, I had to go to three different places before I found the 1-inch soft wood pocket hole screws I needed for one of my projects. One place carried only one type of screw, one place had only two types, and my local Ace Hardware didn't even know what pocket hole screws were!All in all, I am very satisfied with the product and service.
I couldn't figure it out...BUT it turns out this is exactly correct. This 'strangeness' is caused by the fact that the recommended screw lengths change. For example, when changing from joining 1 3/8" thick wood, to joining 1 1/2" wood, the recommended screw length goes up by 1/2". So with only a 1/8" thicker piece of wood, the pocket can't be drilled as deep, or the screw will poke thru.
Unit works as described/designed. Only complaint is it is not securely mounted with clamp and will move around on you while in use. Only a problem when drilling in narrow width, 3/4 inch, wood. Also long driver can be problematic in tight area's. Should be packaged with short drive unit in package.
However, I will be taking note of the level of wear and tear these guides incur over time, as I suspect they may need to be replaced in the long term.-The jig itself is marked with nine thickness increments ranging between 1/2" and 1 1/2", which you use to set the positioning sliders.
In thicker materials it didn't matter and I could use it in 1/2in. Mat. even while set to 3/4in.). Thumbs up for adjustability. However I can't help but wonder how long these flimsy adjustment tabs will last. Especially since I have to adjust it from 3/4in. to 1/2in. to put it away, and back to 3/4in. (standard material size) to use it.
I thought I could use this to build some chairs and the slate on the back. The drill bit, however, split the wood every time and the guide that came with it for determining the settings and screw size are inaccurate. I am not sure that I will use the Kreg Jig again, but I wish it was working because it would be useful
I don't know how to describe it, I don't want to call it &#34;cheap&#34; but it seems a bit flimsy maybe is a better word. I found that I can drill a better pocket hole without the little plastic guide. The only thing that happens when I use the guide is my drill bit eats up the plastic & gets stuck because the wood & the plastic bind up the bit. There's nowhere for it to go if you use the guide it just gets filled up.
I recently ordered 1,000 "fine" and 1,000 "coarse" screws for joining 3/4" wood because I use this joining system whenever and wherever I can. I also use biscuits, simple glued joints, simple screwed joints, and nails, but only when this system cannot be used.One word of caution. Make sure pieces to be joined are firmly clamped before driving screws.
Answer: yes
