<p>The problem with trying to retrofit the screw with a self tapper it would want to "walk" trying to get it into the steel framing. Looks like it won't work with my application.</p>

<p>Unfortunately, the screws for the Kreg Deck Jig are wood screws, and will not be able to drill into the steel framing like you are referring to.
