I want to use pocket screw joints to connect 2x6s and some boards will be close to seven feet long. Do I simply take pocket hole bushing assembly out of my K4 jig and clamp it to end of 2x6 or do I need HD jig?

I wouldn't go HD on that unless you are concerned bout the weight over the 7 foot span. The diameter of the screw should factor into your thinking, but on an end grain-to-end grain joint, I doubt that will be the most significant factor.

Of course, I never pass up a chance to buy more woodworking tools and anything made by Kreg is a good purchase by default. If you need protective cover/reasoning to justify purchasing the HD Jig for Spousal considerations, this is as valid as any.

Tom,

Look into using "bed frame hardward" for the bed frame rails.

New Kreg 720Pro

I saw the video Kreg put out for this new jig and had high hopes for it.

First the docking station is extremely cheap. The plastic is pathetic. A Lego has more…
