How to Use a Kreg Pocket Hole Jig with Product Review

Well done video. It was everything I needed to know to go and buy one. Thanks.

My 320 Pocket Hole Jig has a different system to determine the drill depth and the jig stop locations that the jig shown in the video. My drill has ingraved indicators for 1/2, 3/4, and 1.5 inches which are located by matching the viewing port in the collar and the jig has depth settings corresponding to the three depth settings on the drill for 1/2, 3/4 and 1.5 inch thicknesses. These are indicated by viewing through three portholes.
What should I do if I need to drill pocket holes in stock with another thickness such as 5/8 inch or 1 inch?
The drill doesn't have any thickness indicator other than at 1/2, 3/4. or 1.5 inches and the thickness guide on the jig can only be locked at those three settings.
Should I set the unit up to drill for a greater or lesser thickness - i.e.: should I use 3/4 inch indicator when drilling in material 1 inch thick or should I use the 1.5 inch indicator? Or, is there another fix for this situation???

You didn't say how to figure which length screw to use

Thanks first class demo,just bought the R3 today cant wait to start.

Awesome informative video, helped me very much thank you!

Thank you. Good tutorial for me. Old. Woman (80) from Iowa. I am a lifetime furniture re-doer of previously owned furniture. Refinishing and some changes on bases etc. I wish I had this when I was young. I may have a few more projects in me. I bought this jig.😀

Oh, man, in the first three seconds, I was looking at a Claymore.

I am trying to build base for dresser adding legs. Arrangement of jigs? 80 year old woman from Iowa.

Right angles?

Thank you!! Very good presentation.

My question is, by using the drill bits it comes with, is it going to make the holes to big if I’m using smaller screws?

This is the most legitimate explanation of this jig. I will finally use mine that has sat in my shop for 3 years.

I just bought this tool for a garden gate project and was wondering how to use the system. Good clear explanation. Thanks.

very helpful and well filmed

lol at the diabetes pork squeezing out around his wedding ring. oink oink piggy

👍👍🌹🌹

Volume kinda Low…

Slim, QUIET, works great. I wanted modern and out of the way. This is it!

I love this video,thank you

Thank you for this great video, I like how well you explained everything! I have had the same jig for about 2 years, but the instructions are very confusing. Needless to say I have been doing it wrong all along!! Thank you! Kreg should be paying you for his great tutorial!

Designing a closet. Thanks for this

Thanks, really helped.

Great job keep up the good 👍 have you done any newer version of this video maybe a project your working on. Awesome detailed video.

Thank you, this was just the guidance I needed in order to use this jig!

Had the exact kit for 8 years now. Still the easiest way to make furniture compared to dowel and biscuits.

Thanks

I just got the R3 system with a small kreg clamp on Amazon for about 40 USD (789 MXN). Works just great!

I ended up purchasing the "Kreg" Brand jig today after having to return the less expensive brand realizing that Kreg has dominated the "Pocket hole" industry.. thus making the screws readily and easier to find...NTL, what I'm getting at here is that when I recently owned the other brand, the instructions stated specifically - 'if possible, use the higher speed setting and lowest torque setting on your hand drill in order to drill in the holes' I don't know if this is a standard practice with the Kreg Brand or not.

Do you have to use Kerg screws?

Do you ever want to use glue?

And 2x4 ???

Agreed

I hadn’t used mine in quite awhile. You presented an excellent video on the kreg pocket hole jig. Thank you

Great video. Explanation was to the point and not too wordy.

Fantastic video.

Thanks that helped a lot.. Cheers!

Thank you for your video, it is short, consice and to the point. Now i will go buy a pocket hole jig

Difficult to hear.

Excellent video , it answers all my questions.

Excellent video - just what I needed. I have the same Kreg jig, but haven't used it in some time and forgot how to use it.

Great video. I am torn between the Kreg and a couple others.

Good video, thanks

Very helpful. Thank you.

You should probably have added a bit about screw selection. Do you use 1¼" screws or 1½" screws for ¾" material ?

I just saw your video after getting this Kreg system for Christmas - Very helpful. How would attach (and set up the depth) for a perpendicular piece such as a drawer front to the drawer sides?

what is the best, lightest wood to use for cabinets? I'm trying to make some for a camper trailer so needs to be lightweight..

Спасибо большое, мне очень помогло определиться!

Good stuff, simple and effective explanation and good video.

hi did you find the drill bit shredded the blue plastic a tiny bit at first? When you have drilled your hole, how much of the drill bit goes through the wood at the back end - is it all the pilot hole section?

How do you know how far in to drill the screws? Is it just by feel pretty much?

Thank you for this video, really helpful.
