The plugs are cut from leftover scrap wood from your project, so the plugs will exactly match the wood color and wood grain of your project.

The plugs are glued into the pocket holes and then sanded flush. Check out my plug cutter setup tips and video! It will happen to all of us at some point. What do we do now? You need my secret weapon I keep in my tool arsenal for hard-to-reach pocket holes — a right angle attachment!

Thank you — Scott. Hi James — There are a couple of ways to tackle these round corners. You could square the round corners with a chisel.

Or you can use a specially made corner chisel like this one to square the corners. Very helpful, thanks for this information. Winter came along with terrible dryness, and guess what? That panel popped up eventhough I used the Kregg jig and screws! I could see light coming through between the panels. It looked so shoddy. I had to unscrew, glue, reclamp, then rescrew it all…. I hope someone reads this article before making the same mistake. Thank you for stopping by. Glad you go it fixed.

I definitely value the information in this article. I am glad I found it. It seems so easy, much more so than dwells or mortise and tenon joints. Thanks for the info. Thanks for the tips. I have been using a Kreg jig for some time and recently got the K5.

I though about putting washers on the screws to keep them from going so deep and that might work. The ultimate solution is to set the collar at a shallower depth however.

Unfortunately I will have to remake the piece I drilled through and the piece I put the pocket holes in. I will do a test piece first this time however. Hey John — Thank you for stopping by. Thank you for the reminder and good luck with your project. Hi Scott, these tips are amazing! I also benefitted greatly from your clamping article. I have been trying to work with the Kreg jig. I clamped everything down, drove the kreg screws in, and found that the thing wobbled.

I removed one of the screws to check the size, tried a longer one, and found that it went through the bottom of the test piece so I had the right size screw. Then I was checking the wobble, gave it a yank, and the pieces pulled apart!

Since it was a test piece, I tried it without glue, but if I had glued it, there might still have been a gap…. If you can spot my mistake and suggest a solution, I would greatly appreciate it! Thanks so much for the great articles!! Hey there — thank you for stopping by and for the compliments! I prefer to use a bar clamp.

Pocket holes are easily stripped, so set the clutch on your drill to a low setting. Drive the screw until the clutch stops the drill. This will create a strong joint. My email is sawsonskates at gmail dot com. Good luck and let me know how it goes! The stepped drill bit should be set to the screw length. But yes, you are correct, For the Kreg K5 the stepped drill bit is set to the length of the screw.

Hi Ryan — I actually found that plan in a woodworking magazine a few years ago. Have just found this and love the advice my only problem was converting all the measurements to metric when using my Kreg and in my haste to use it made lots of mistakes. Next time I will just slow Pocket Hole Jig Dewalt Wallet down. I look forward to more of your posts and hopefully I can learn a thing or two. An observation about the dust extraction which is great and very effective if you can get the keg dust extraction fitting to stay together in one piece.

I have been using it wth an old Miele vacuum, surplus to requirement in the home. Swivels can be made far stronger just look at vacuum cleaners such as Kirby you can not get the swivels apart with out a lot of force and tools. I know as I used an old kirby hose for dust extraction an a Hegner finger jointing machine.

If Kreg want to improve anything on this terrific jig it would be that fitting. I would pay heaps for an upgraded version to avoid the frustration of it falling apart every five minutes and me stopping work to put it back together each time. All the best.

Never hold the joint with your hand as you drive in the screws. The driver tip slipped on me and drove into my palm of my hand. It hurt and I went to the doctor and after a exray they cleared me of any broken bones, but this is very easy to do. Use a clamp to hold together for safety. This is a great tip and a good reminder to always think safety first. Very useful information. I just wanted to mention the Kreg Jig Mini. I have used this item so many times with hard to reach repairs.

My parents have had a small motel for 40 years, and I do all the upkeep! Anyway, I have had repairs to chair legs, bed frames, window sills inside and out roof fascia boards, roof underlayment, planter boxes, doors, etc.

I have even made some wooden frames with clear plastic stretched across like a painting canvas with closed cell foam surrounding the edges of the frame to insert in the window wells to seal out drafts.

What a difference it makes in a warm room in Vermont during the cold winters! Hey Mark — Thank you so much for stopping by! Your email address sounds familiar… I think may have driven by your place on the way to the Vermont Country Store.

Thank you again for all the info and for stopping by — Scott. Awesome article! Why not put the screws at sides of legs going into the panels and then put wood plugs to cover the holes made on the sides of the legs or as I love dowels and have no hole marks at all and better than screws where they come loose as you move the furniture around and in a few years must throw away due to loose screws?

I have a question about gluing versus not on pocket hole joints. The Pocket Hole Jig Dewalt View boards are from the local lumber yard and we all know that wood from a yard is not totally dry. My way of thinking is to not glue so the screws can be tightened as it drys. I would like to hear your input as well as your other followers. I know ultimately it would be better to let the wood dry more but she wants it asap. Thanks Donald. L4: Apprentice. Own the harbor freight version, and honestly prefer it Quote from Bobbyh95 :.

The Kreg drill block is removable to take to pieces that can't be clamped in the jig. But yah, it's plastic It's fiberglass reinforced nylon that simply doesn't break. It's not an issue at all.
