I have a problem with a k3 & k4
K3 problem the threaded insert is lose and will not hold setting. The k4 is worn and hard to use. I was think maybe epoxy the insert in place may fix it. I tried wood glue did hold. Anyone else had the same problem? The k4 I have thought about doing air cylinder. Just don't like the idea having to hook up air compressor ever time I use it. I am think of buy a k4 or k5 . Really would lean toward the k5 but from reviews build quality is not that good. I have had problems with the new self adjusting clamps breaking.

I fixed my Problems by upgrading to the K5 jig. I really like the K5 the dust collection works so much better than k3 or k4. They tended to clog up so rarely used dust collection port. I plan on mounting the K5 to a board
haven't done that yet. I probably will use the old trick learned here of using a Nichol instead of the provided gauge. Also glad the handle is on front like k3. Like the quick switching from 3/4 to 1 1/2 stock.

New to K5 and pocket holes, any video’s on the materials listed below?
I am using Danny Proulx book on shop workstations. I am deciding whether to use MDF or Melamine. He calls for MDF. However; I like the looks of the melamine. I am a little leery of using pocket holes for it. One of the main reasons is I have no…Continue
