<p>Hi All.....</p>
<p></p>
<p>I have the 35mm Kreg Jig hinge drill guide. The guide is great for 35mm Hinge Cups, but I have a speciality 40MM hinge cup to drill.</p>
<p>Has anyone adapted the Kreg guide to work with 40mm Forsner drill bits? Or have a guide that works well.</p>
<p>Thanks everyone for looking...</p>

I recently added the Kreg XL jig to my collection of awesome Kreg tools. My question: When joining a a 2x4 to a 4x4 using 4” XL screws, I should attached the jig to the 2x4 and set it to the 2x4 setting, correct?<br />
Thanks in advance for the advice!<br />

<p>This might have been discussed before but I can't find the right answer.</p>
<p></p>
<p>I recently upgraded to a Kreg 720 Pro and gave away my old R3. The old kit had a chart in inches & mm for setting the collar depth of the Kreg pocket hole drill. Unfortunately, I didn't keep a copy of the chart.</p>
<p></p>
<p>The new kit came with some weird setting guide on the back which is missing key settings for common material thicknesses like 3/4", 1-1/2".</p>

<p>Anyone willing to share that chart? It indicated distance of the collar to the drill shoulder (not the tip).</p>

<p>Hi everyone,</p>
<p></p>
<p>Just got my 720 jig. I noticed that when I put the drill bit into the drill guide, it does not go through. The tip of the drill bit does not extrude from the guide. A photo is attached.<br/><br/>I wonder if it is normal, because if the bit does not touch the workpiece, it won't make the pocket hole.<br/><br/>Or if I force it through it will drill out the plastics of the guide?<br/><br/>Could anyone shed some light on it? Thanks </p>

I ripped a 2x4 board to be a true 3” instead 3.5”. The thickness of the board remains 1.5”. When I put the pocket hole in the board, the top of the hole was too high and now visible. In other words the top of the pocket was on the top of the board instead of fulling concealed on the side.

<p>I am building a small trunk for a military friend to put some belongings in. I have made legs out of ash hardwood and will make the sides out of 1/2” or 3/4” Baltic birch plywood. The legs are 1.5” thick by 2” wide. So since I’m drilling pockets in the plywood should I use coarse or fine thread going in the ash hardwood? And since I have thicker leg go with longer screw or stick with what is recommended for the plywood thickness I go with. Thanks for your help in advance, Mike</p>

<p>I recently purchased the Kreg HD pocket hole jig. It says it can be used on 1.5" thick stock and larger. For thicknesses over 1.5" the screws exit off center so I was wondering how that will effect the strength of the joint? Is it advisable to add one or more pocket holes on the other side as well depending on the thickness of the piece you're working on?</p>
