is the tip of the drill bit supposed to come out the end?
charlie n on Sep 1, 2016
BEST ANSWER: The tip of the drill bit is not supposed to come out through your material. This allows for the self tapping wood screws to have some threads in the piece with the pocket holes making the joint pull tight.
I am making a replacement pole for an aluminum Christmas tree. Will this work on a wooden pole? I will need to drill 90+ holes.
Kenna H on Nov 4, 2015
BEST ANSWER: Depending the diameter of the pole. If it too small, you may experience difficulty mounting the jig
Does pocket hole construction need to be glued?
George Z on Jan 21, 2017
BEST ANSWER: The Kreg company says it's not needed. But I would glue to make a stronger project.
Is the carrying case that is mentioned that comes with the Kreg R3 Pocket Hole System Item #22708 grey hard plastic or some other material?
Paula M on Nov 25, 2016
BEST ANSWER: The case provided is hard plastic with calibration/setting guides molded in for the depth-stop on the drill bit. It has a nice positive snap-lock latch that seems like it will hold up well.
what is the difference between r3 and r4?
gerry s on May 9, 2017
BEST ANSWER: r3 costs $45 uses a Kreg clamp (not supplied) to clamp jig to material. Has 2 3/8" pocket holes with 7/8" spacing.
r4 costs $100 uses a toggle clamp to clamp jig to material and a another clamp to attach jig to bench top. Has 3 3/8" pocket holes with 9/16, 7/8" and 1 7/16 spacing.
Either use material from 1/2" to 1 1/2" thick and can center on 9 different thickness material.
Either can do the same job.
what size screws for 3/4" plywood ?
Myrddin on Apr 13, 2015
BEST ANSWER: According to the Screw Length Selection Chart, 3/4" material thickness should use 1 1/4" screw length.
I am building a dining room table, and I am using pocket holes to attach the legs and aprons to the actual top. Something got tweaked when I glued the apron to the legs so I have a slight gap in between the apron and top. My question is I'm concerned to screw the top to the apron with pocket holes in fear of cracking the wood. Any suggestions?
Shnewmyer on Sep 20, 2016
BEST ANSWER: In an application like this we recommend using pocket hole screws like you are referring to. However, once your screws are tight we recommend taking just a square drive screw driver and loosening them about a 1/4 turn. This will allow for movement from the expansion and contraction of the wood over time minimizing the chance of warping.
Do you make a KREG tool for 4x4s?
Billy Joe L on Jun 13, 2016
BEST ANSWER: While making a drill press stand, I used the Kreg tool to drill holes for screws to attach 4x4 Legs to the top. The top was a rectangle frame made of 4x4s.. it worked great.The kreg tool is put on the side of a piece of wood so the size of the wood does not matter, provided the wood is thick, enough to accomodate the angle needed for the drill hole crated by the Kreg tool. MY legs became strongly attached to the top thanks to the kreg too.
Can I do picture frames with the kreg jig R3?
Antonio M on Apr 11, 2016
BEST ANSWER: Yes you can, instead of the normal 45 degree corners just end put them then fasten with Kreg Jig. Use it either on the back or front for decoration, using contrasting wood plugs

I have had and used this...
I have had and used this tool for over two years now. One of the sliding legs for depth adjustment snapped as I carelessly pulled on it. I looked and looked for a replacement and couldn't find one anywhere. Went back to KREG and contacted their support via email and asked where I could purchase another leg. I got an email back the next day (Monday) and rep said he was sorry for the problem and would send one to me in the mail. I got it today, 3 days later, they had to pay $1.50 postage for delivery and now this tool is functioning again, no charge to me for my mistake. WOW, try that with anyone else. You would be laughed at, this is the best service I have ever received from anyone for anything. Fantastic, two years old and still working as well as the first day I tried it. Can't say enough about KREG. Not only does the tool do everything you could want from it but the company follows suit with actual service. BUT IT NOW! Don't wait!

I have attempted various projects for our house and have been unsuccessful at making joints and/or square corners. This jig made it simple and was truly easy to use. My first attempt using this product was remarkable and my table project was a big hit with my wife and children. In fact they wanted to know where I bought the tables and were amazed at the quality. Thanks Kreg, you have rekindled my passion for woodworking!

The Kreg R3 pocket hole system is very easy to use, accurate and a good bargain. Being just a beginner, I was amazed that I was able to make these holes so easily.

Awesome...simply awesome. I did not want...
Awesome...simply awesome. I did not want to spring for the $139 K3, simply because I wasn't sure how much I would need the jig. However, after using it for a couple key sections in some on-going projects, I'm now hooked. I don't think that I will drill for dowels ever again...EVER!So far I've tried the Kreg Jr. to joint a couple wood drawer slides for a vanity I'm building. I've completed 90% of the joinery with dowels, and I'm frankly tired of the fact that no matter how hard I try, I'm always slightly off (1/16" is enough to really make a difference). The Kreg Jr let me drill the remaining joints in 1/4 of the time.Another project that I just finished with the Kreg Jr is some closet shelves. The shelves are a U shape, and I've hesitated to hang the center shelf (i.e. bottom of the U shape) because I didn't want to add additional supports (for aesthetic reasons), dowels weren't an option, and nails/brads wouldn't have been strong enough. After receiving the Kreg today, I was finally able to hang the shelf with pocket joints (drilling the ends of the center shelf into the sides of the two side shelves), and it is strong. I was honestly quite surprised at how strong the joints were and how stable the new shelf is.Now I'm using it to assemble a hall table that I'm making out of reclaimed white oak. The screws do a great job of cutting into some VERY tough wood.Although I'll probably buy the K3 kit eventually, I don't regret buying the Kreg Jr, because it really serves its purpose, and I'll be able to use it for most of my projects.

Really Easy to Use!
Really easy set up. Provided all the consistency that's needed for the occasional user who just needs the basics. So far I've been able to use std. bar clamps so the optional clamp is just that - optional, but could seriously improve set up time if you're doing a lot

I don't use this jig professionally, I'm just an average woodworker. It's amazing. Easy, fast, accurate. This kit is all you need to get started building. I put together a shelving system in no time. The joints are unbelievably strong. Great tool, great quality.

This is a community/school theatre godsend....
This is a community/school theatre godsend. If you make canvas or hardwall flats out of 1x stock you need this jig. No more plywood corner blocks and straps for your rails and stiles. You can skin the flats immediately after assembly. The joints are strong enough to withstand the twisting that occurs when someone tries to "lay" a flat instead of floating it to the floor. Once you show them the basics, a crew of high school kids can assemble a show's worth of frames out of pre-cut stock in a a matter of hours. (Be sure to buy an extra face clamp so you can get an assembly line going.) This jig pays for itself (in time and materials) with the first show.
