I have the old k2000 and I just recently bought the master collection that came with the K3. My old one has the clamp arm in the back, I really like the clamp arm in the front its a lot easier to work with large panels.<br />
<br />
For me I set K2000 up for 3/4<br />
and use the K3 for everything else.

<p>A major issue I have with the Kreg 4 is not being able to work on large panels (like for kitchen cabinets). You cannot reach around a large panel to clamp it into place. You have to walk around the bench, if you can walk around the bench, to clamp the wood and then walk back around to drill the hole. With the Kreg 3 you clamp and drill on the same side of the wood.

<p>OK, that makes sense. So the guys that bought the K4 in the interim now have the opportunity to buy just the K3 base and use their K4 drill guide with it. Good marketing strategy on Kregs part.</p>

<p>K3 is more convenient to use especially as the parts get larger. K4 was developed during the interim since the K3 design was challenged in court for patent infringement. Once that challenge was satisfied in court, Kreg was able to manufacture the K3 again.</p>

<p>Now I'm puzzled. It looks like Kreg will sell you just the K3 front clamping base without the drill guide??? If they got a whole bunch left over why didn't Kreg just keep selling the complete K3 Jig? Or am I missing something here.</p>
<p>Anyway, my CL buy came just in time. I only had five 1 1/4" coarse screws left in box (seller gave me a big box with jig, I bet not more than 10 are missing) and my drill bit, set for 3/4" material, is dull (hit a hidden nail/screw in chair repair) so I am now using my newly acquired one.</p>
