kreg Pocket hole system

Marc;

Pocket hole joinery works very well for face frames. We use it all the time for all kinds construction.

You can get the complete master kit or just start out with the drill guide, bit, and a clamp.

I think Kreg has some good videos on their web site.

I worried when i bought this platic jig…but it is great…works really good. Do not hesitate to buy. A+

i bought the one for 40.00 it became my favorite new item real fast

I’ve got the master kit. I have to say that I’m turning to it more and more instead of tenons just to be able to get on with it. They work well and hold really good.

I use pocket in places where I don’t mind seeing the holes and in applications that will not subject the joint to shearing stresses. For jigs and shop fixtures, the Kreg jigs are invaluable to me.

Very practical and utilitarian. If you get the master kit you will find many uses for it in the shop.

I often buy things and don’t use them for a while. This true with my purchase of my Kreg jig.
When I started useing it the other day for redoing my shop. It really came handy to use it.

Great for face frames and utilitarian case corners. Or, any joints where the hole or plugs can’t be seen.

The Pocket Hole Tool has become one of my go to tools. I have been using for over 4 years now. Great idea.

The only draw back is that you will want to get a drill for the pocket hole and one for the driver bit.

The master kit is a good bargain.

I also bought the master kit. I use it regularly for face frames. I have used it to attach shelves and many other uses. Just go ahead and buy the right screws for it. A friend of mine bought one and told me he was using reg screws for his. I tried the reg screws and I would split out the joint if I was at either end of style etc. I then bough the correct screws and had no more problems.

They also have plugs you can use to cover the holes and also a plug cutter to make your own if you prefer to cover the holes.

I’ve had mine for about 15 yrs. Its the old alum. body 2 holer. Still goin’ strong.
I find that using a corded drill works best when you’re tryin’ to bang out a bunch of pocket holes.
Make sure that everyone reads the instructions first. I read somewhere that a user was tryin’ to put the spinnin’ bit into the guide. WOO HOO!!!
