You set the collar and Jig for the depth of the wood you are drilling. You want the screw to come out of the middle of the board you are drilling and if you set it otherwise this will change this. Say for instance you are attaching a 1x into a 2x and you set the Jig and drill for 2x you would come out of the bottom of the 1x.

James, just as Doug says, remember this- you want the screw to exit in the middle of the piece being drilled into and you want sufficient length of the screw in the mating/ joining piece to form a strong joint. eg you want to join a 1x2 to 2x2 flush on one side (rail and leg joint). You then set your drill bit and jig to 3/4" and use the appropriate screws (1.5").
If you want the joint to be offset, say by 1/2" (thus placing the rail in the centre of the 2x2) you still set your jig and bit to 3/4" but you can use a longer screw for a stronger joint. Hope this helps :)

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…
