What is the latest word from Kreg about drill speed? Does whether the wood is soft or hard have anything to do with the drilling speed?
I just bought the K4 Master System with an extra clamp and 1,000 Kreg screws, plus received the 1,000 free Kreg screw bonus that Woodcraft has going through Oct. 29. So, I'm ready to drill and to install some pocket screws.
I have a Ryobi 18-Volt Lithium Drill/Screwdriver with clutch that is rated at 1,600 RPM and a Makita Hammer Drill that is rated at 2,800 RPM, but its corded and heavier, which I would use in drill mode. My first projects will be using 3/4 inch (actual) thick pine and poplar. For this drilling, may I use the 1,600 RPM drill or do I need to use the 2,600 RPM drill?

Hi John - Thank you very much for the info. Have you been using your Ryobi 18V Lithium for drilling in softwoods, hardwoods or both?
I'll use the yellow Ryobi 18V Lithium for drilling the holes and my older dark blue Ryobi 18V Ni-Cad (which is only 1,300 RPM) with clutch for installing the screws, so I don't have to keep switching the drill bit and the driver bit. I'll also drill some holes in the pine and the poplar with the 2,800 RPM Makita to see if I notice any difference in the holes.
Does whether the wood is soft or hard have anything to do with the drilling speed for the Kreg pocket holes?

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…
