Thanks for both responses, Jeff. I had your math figured out already. Actually, the only critical measurement is the 3/8" thickness. The question becomes how far a 1" screw will go using the Micro-Jig. The instructions that come with the standard jig package indicate something like 0.421" penetration with a 1" screw, which is greater than 3/8" (0.375"-sorry, but my undergraduate degree was in math), but they don't tell you with the instructions for the Micro-Jig how far that screw is going out.…

You're technically correct and that I should do a test run, but I'm just a lazy SOB. Maybe the Kreg Rep can answer the question.<br />

Hi, If your measurments are correct then the ply and the face frame have only and inch and a quarter of thickness. I would use the half inch setting on the jig with the one inch screws. But i would never make my work piece the test piece. I would strongly suggest a scrap piece first. In my opinion with the rabbit joint the chances of splitting are greater because of the rabbit it self. So i might would predrill first..
