Does anyone know of an easy way to hold the corners of a small box when using micro-pocket holes? Does Kreg make a right angle clamp for the smaller micro-pocket holes? They should consider making a small right angle clamp for micro pocket assembly.

Vince,
Check out this mini clamp---
perhaps it'll work out for you.

I use them---they keep the corners square---
they can be used inside or outside, and I get good results.
Thank you, Ken. I checked out the Rockler.com site and I will consider buying the square and a few of their mini-clamps. I think this will solve the problem.

Vince,
Another option
Obtain a 2nd clamp---
grind the clamp pin diameter down to fit into the smaller size pocket holes.
I have found that a 1/4 drive, 11/32 nut driver socket will slip right over the clamp mandrel. The short 1\ drive shaft will fit nicely in the micro pocket hole and clamp the piece very well. I successfully used the clamps on a 1/2" thick made project. Be sure to look for the socket with the short, straight shaft. Some sockets have a longer shaft that would require shortning of the shaft as it is too long to work.
Good luck on your projects.

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…

Several months ago, I purchased the Kreg K4MS so that I could build the Lego Table as outlined on the companion "buildsomething" web site which exclusively uses pocket hole construction. I have considerable experience with conventional…
