Paul,

Since 15mm is only slightly thicker than 1/2", I would use the Kreg recommended settings for 1/2" stock.  You already have the correct screw length at 1".

Hi Paul,

Perhaps consider using  a coarse screw as well. Coarse screws are better for softer woods. If it is  a right angle joint I have found the Kreg right angle clamp while fastening is invaluable.

New Kreg 720Pro
