How to join a 45 Deg Angle on a 1 1/2" board to a 1/2" plywood?? - Kreg Owners' Community2024-03-29T06:16:22Zhttps://kregjig.ning.com/forum/topics/how-to-join-a-45-deg-angle-on-a-1-1-2-board-to-a-1-2-plywood?commentId=2900167%3AComment%3A848691&feed=yes&xn_auth=noCongratulations on building y…tag:kregjig.ning.com,2023-05-19:2900167:Comment:10374662023-05-19T07:50:32.036ZEariyyahttps://kregjig.ning.com/profile/Eariyya
<p>Congratulations on building your first piece of furniture! Creating 45-degree angles for your rolling storage crates/seats can add an attractive design element to your project. To achieve this, you can use your Kreg K4 pocket hole jig along with a miter saw or a circular saw. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you:</p>

<p>Measure and mark: Determine the dimensions of your storage crates/seats and mark the locations where you want to create the 45-degree angles.</p>
<p>Adjust the Kreg K4: Set up your Kreg K4 pocket hole jig according to the thickness of the wood you're using. Follow the instructions provided with the Kreg K4 to ensure proper setup.</p>
<p>Position the wood: Place the piece of wood you want to create the 45-degree angle on the Kreg K4 jig, making sure the marked line aligns with the appropriate hole on the jig.</p>
<p>Drill pocket holes: Use a drill to create pocket holes for place the <a href="https://gunsandgadgets.co.za/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">gadgets</a> following the instructions provided with the Kreg K4. This will join the pieces of wood together securely.</p>
<p>Cut the 45-degree angles: Use a miter saw or a circular saw to cut the 45-degree angles on the marked lines. Make sure to adjust the angle of the saw to 45 degrees and double-check the alignment before making any cuts.</p>
<p>Assemble the crates/seats: Apply wood glue to the joint surfaces and then use screws to attach the pieces together through the pocket holes you created with the Kreg K4.</p>
<p>Sand and finish: After assembling the crates/seats, sand the surfaces smooth and apply the desired finish, such as stain, paint, or varnish, to protect the wood and enhance its appearance.</p> Haha!

<p><br></br> <span>Haha! I'm learning that now :) As others mentioned I could jig the thin 1x3s at the 90 angle. That did work at the B & C slots, if I remember correctly. A higher grade 1x3 slats were way easier to handle. Upgrading wood grades to the selects I found a huge difference. Lots of filling and splitting with the cheaper cuts of woods.

I felt since the crate was so large, it was imperative to have the Kreg joints and some brads (18"x18" dimensions). I ended up building another table before finishing the crate, lol, got frustrated with the woodworking plans I had started with FOR A SIMPLE crate, ended up doing my own thing. There's storage under the cushion, but even though it's done now, I can't help to despise it, lol. I'm moving on to benches tomorrow before I make the second crate.</span><br/> <cite><br/></cite></p>

<p>if i guess what you are trying to do is correct ,attach the slats to the timber ,some times simple is best the thinner material attached to the thicker material ,brads from your friend ,we did a similar project, and just used our brad i gun and glue , have a look at the attached picture .a rustic potting table ,made for a friend .</p>

<p><br/>Me again. Is the 3/8 Step Drill bit any different than the bit that comes in the K4 kit? I went the Lowes to get one, but it looked exactly the same.</p>

<p>one good trick to help prevent splitting is to clamp the pieces together at the joint when driving the screw in.</p>
<p>also when driving the screw in, use a stop/start motion as you drive the screw instead of a full ahead driving of the screw. hope this makes sense.</p>

Thanks for the tip Ken. Perhaps that may be my issue. I tried 90 degree angles into the 1x3 selects with the bit that came with the kit and the wood kept spitting when joining to the plywood. Played with the stop collar settings with no luck.

<p>A pocket hole in a "counterbored" hole, drilled at an angle.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Counterbored holes, can be achieved by using the Kreg drill, (3/8" step drill), with depth collar set for drilling to the desired depth, so as to recess the head AND obtain adequate thread engagement into the adjoining member.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Use the Kreg screws, for assembly.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Option: Install plugs to cover the holes.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Works for me.</p>
