Kreg R3 Jr RIP...

[Andy Harris]

Well I bought my first Kreg Ji the R3 Jr last thanksgiving and have made lots of pieces with it.  Unfortunately today part of it broke though and so I guess that is it for now :-(  Not sure if to buy another R3 or save for a while for a different model.

Andy,
Sorry to hear about your jig? Can you tell me what broke? If something was defective, we certainly stand behind it.

If it were me and I was in the market for a new jig, I would be going with the K5.   I started with the Kreg Jr just to see if I could accomplish and enjoying doing pocket hole joinery.  I loved it and soon bought the K4.  ( It was before the K5 was introduced).   I do not think you would regret "moving up".

Hi.  The clamp plate broke unfortunately.  It is probably just through a lot of use but shame it didn't last longer.  Thanks.

I still find those unusual circumstances arise when I reach for the R3.

Large panels, repairs, and "oops, should have put a pockehole here *before* I assembled this cabinet" moments.

Get Kreg's customer service to help out, and keep saving the ¢¢ for a K5.
