I think I'm missing something basic, but I can't seem to find the answer browsing manuals at krieg.

 

I picked up a krieg jig at a garage sale, but it's not any I see on kriegs website (just the blue base - see image). 

 

Looking at the docs at kriegs website, one of the jigs has a drill depth guide, and the mini documentation shows three settings based on material thickness - 3/4, 1, and 1 1/2.  But I have yet to find any settings on my jig, or a table anywhere that says where to set the collar stop.

 

Any advice?

What you have is only part of the total Jig. It is from the Kreg Jig or the Kreg Jig Master. It is the Jig with the attachment that makes it portable, you do not have the base which has the stop collar settings. maybe someone else would know where you could get a depth diagram, but I do not.
I was drawing blanks as to what the numbers on the bottom face were for. For a company that makes such an handy tool, it didn't make sense that I'd have to measure each time, or look something up to set the collar depth. Now it makes perfect sense.

Thanks!!!!

Place the jig at the desired material mark and then insert the bit into a guide hole there are markings on the bottom face of the jig to line up the step of the drill bit then lock the collar down flush with the top of the jig.

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…
