How to join two 3x6 using kreg joinery system

Greetings. My name is Carlos Rodriguez from Trujillo Alto, Puerto Rico. I am a beginner wood worker interesting in knowing if the Kreg system can be used to join a series of 3x6 at a 90 degree angle. If its not possible, what joinery system do you guys recommend? Thanks in advance for your replies and look forward to be an active member of this community.

Hello Carlos,
Welcome to the Kreg Owners' Community! You can use Kreg Joinery for this application, however it will require a specific, heavy-duty jig — the Kreg Jig® HD. 3x6 lumber is 2 1/2" thick, and the Kreg Jig® HD lets you create joints in 1 1/2" thick and thicker materials.

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
