<p>James is correct; you can use 2 1/2" screws and it should offer enough support. However, when attaching the 3/4" shelf, remember to change your jig to the 3/4" settings and use 1 1/4" screws. This will ensure you have the strongest joint. If you have any additional questions, feel free to contact us at 800-447-8638 or customerservice@kregtool.com</p>

<p>Thanks Jim. I will have to look into the HD Jig. I have the K-5 jig now. I'm not sure where I got 2 1/4 screws LOL. I do plan on using the 2 1/2. Good to know I can use the 1 1/4" screws from under. I know I can counter sink them from the top but I'd prefer none to show. I appreciate your reply</p>

<p>HI Angie, you may have to go with a 2 1/2 " screw as they do not have a 2 1/4 " , If you have one I would use the Kreg HD JIG for the 2 x 4,S , the screw,s are a bit heavier and stronger if you are concerned about the weight !! The HD will work with your K-5 Jig and is about 60.00 , but you can use your K-5 and 2 1/2 " screw,s !! And yes you can screw the top and shelf from the bottom and the back side of 2 x 4 ,s with 1 1/4 " screws so no screws show , hope this helps happy…</p>
