make sure you ordered the screws to use with it....course screws for plywood, fine screws for hard wood.

There is also different lengths of screws, depending on the thickness of the wood you are drilling into.


Hello Ron

Lucky thing I decided on ordering 2 sizes and 2 boxes ... :thumbsup:

As you can see, I got lots of use from the Kreg Jig from the very begining of my TD project, a VERY useful tool! I think there are at least 32 pocket holes in this pic...... :D

The proper screws are good, but I've used drywall screws, decking screws , particle bourd screws, and regular wood screws with it. They all work good, just make sure that when they bottom out you don't keep drilling them in. Deck screws will keep going past the stop.... :oops:

Arthur thats sounds like me... They have many accessories available...

You folks dont mind if I use your enthusiasm to advertise the Kreg tool and the enthusiasm of the great society of tear drop folks now do you..

What a combo... :applause: :applause: :thumbsup:

Thanks
