<p>I assumed that the pocket hole would be drilled though the horizontal 2x4's by using a Kreg Jig depth setting of 1-1/2 inches - which should result in the screw coming out at the center of the top of the 2x4.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Set the drill bit collar for the same 1.5 inch depth - so the drill tip just barely does NOT break through the surface of the 2x4.</p>
<p></p>
<p>The uncertain thing for me is exactly what screw length to use that will avoid it breaking through the top of the 3/4" table…</p>

<p>The uncertain thing for me is exactly what screw length to use that will avoid it breaking through the top of the 3/4" table top. I think the best is to do some testing on scrap wood starting with using a 1-1/4" long screw, and then use a longer or shorter screw, depending on what your results are. If you run into troubles you may need to create a 1/4" plywood shim between the 2x4's and the 3/4 inch top to prevent the screw from breaking through.</p> Trent,

<p>Screws 1-1/4" long.</p>
<p>Pocket hold drill guide---set for 3/4" stock.</p>
<p>Drill the pocket holes in the 2x4 stock.</p>
<p>Route the screw thru the pocket hole into the 3/4" material.</p>
