Pocket Holes not deep enough

[Trevor Roeder]

Material I used is 3/4" plywood & 1 1/4" pan-head course screws. I set the collar for 3/4" depth and after I drill pocket hole and I fasten a screw in it just doesn't go into the other material deep enough for a strong joint and the head of the screw is not below surface of pocket hole.

What could I be doing wrong?

Which head screws are better to use for 3/4" and thicker material?

Thanks,

Trevor

I figured out my problem! When I was setting my jig on the wood, I made the hooked edges of the jig sit on top of the wood, not hang over it. That also helps solve my other problem of the jig slipping when I drill. Thank you for the awesome support.
