I just measured the depth settings for the various wood thicknesses and made a startling discovery. According to the depth setting scale on the snap lock jig, the setting for the 1 1/8" wood is 1/16th of an inch deeper than for the 1 1/4" wood. The settings for the 1 3/8 and 1 1/2 measure the same. Anyway, here are Kreg's recomended settings as indicated on the scale:
1 1/8" = 4 3/16", 1 1/4" = 4 1/8",
13/8" = 4 5/16", 1 1/2" = 4 5/16".
Has anyone else actually taken the time to measure the setting scale on these units? I guess when the thickness of the wood gets over 1" a 1/16th of an inch in the depth of the pocket hole should really not make much difference .
I really would like to hear what the Kreg Rep has to say about this.

I have the Jr and have also been confused by these markings - for instance the 1-3/8" mark is only 1/8" (or less) further along than the 1-1/8", there is one mark that is half way between the 1-1/4" mark and the 1-1/2" mark - which is it?

Hi. I'm wondering if anyone has used the Woodpecker Free Hand Guard for dust collection on their bench top router table during pattern routing. How effective is it? It's adaptable to any router table. Continue

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…
