Can anyone help me with the drill bit depth for 3/4" faceframes for an older jig that does not have the nifty gauge on the top to show the depth?
I would love to have a chart for different thicknesses of wood too...but the 3/4" would be super!
Thanks,
John

Hello John;
I just measured the depth settings for the various wood thicknesses and made a startling discovery. According to the depth setting scale on the snap lock jig, the setting for the 1 1/8" wood is 1/16th of an inch deeper than for the 1 1/4" wood. The settings for the 1 3/8 and 1 1/2 measure the same. Anyway, here are Kreg's recomended settings:
1/2" = 3 1/4", 5/8 = 3 1/2", 3/4" = 3 9/16", 7/8 = 3 11/16", 1" = 3 29/32", 1 1/8" = 4 3/16", 1 1/4" = 4 1/8", 13/8" = 4 5/16", 1 1/2" = 4 5/16".
The measurements are from the bit shoulder to the collar . Hope this helps.

I saw the video Kreg put out for this new jig and had high hopes for it.
I purchased one today and am very disappointed with it.
First the docking station is extremely cheap. The plastic is pathetic. A Lego has more…

Several months ago, I purchased the Kreg K4MS so that I could build the Lego Table as outlined on the companion "buildsomething" web site which exclusively uses pocket hole construction. I have considerable experience with conventional…
