New Kreg 720Pro
I saw the video Kreg put out for this new jig and had high hopes for it.
I purchased one today and am very disappointed with it.
First the docking station is extremely cheap. The plastic is pathetic. A Lego has more…

HI JOE , how are you making out with your HF Jig , hope it is working for you , JIM !!
HI Joe , welcome to the community , I noticed on your profile that you do not have a KREG Jig, the K4 or K5 are both good depends on what you want to build !! I have the K4 master set and it work,s good for me , as I have drilled many pocket holes in the last few years and have never drill a pilot hoe in either board !! Make sure when you get your jig you also get a face clamp and a 90 degree clamp and you should not have any problem,s , clamping is very important to get a good tight joint , I also have a good selection of bar and pipe clamps that will help !! Have a good day and happy wood working , JIM !!
