That was happening to me a bit on the cradle project. The screws were poking out just enough to be annoying. I was able to sand them flush, and now no one knows of the mistake. Turns out my drill bit collar was a little deep. I didn't tighten it down well enough. I also now use Tim's suggestion of backing it off a bit from 3/4" mark.<br />

Also, on softer woods, be careful you don't strip out your screw by trying to over-tighten the screws. Go only until you feel that slight tug/twist on your power…

I was actually attaching oak plywood to oak plywood. I'll try backing out the depth of the drill bit a little bit the next time. I did back off the Kreg jig to just less than 3/4". I decided to put it together with a nail gun this time. I hate it that i have to go back and fill up putty holes now...

Ron I had simular problems drilling birch plywood into oak with 1 1/4" fine screws. I made a slight adjustment on the drill bit collar and it helped. Try it on some test pieces first. Good luck.
