Good evening everyone! My name is Mike and I am NEW to the Kreg world. I have been playing with the master kit as well as the Screw Selector Wheel trying to understand the how to's and various settings. The question I have is when the guides state to set the Jig for the stock size, does that mean the purchased size or the true size, for example a 2 x 4 is really not a 2 x 4 but would I set it for a 2 x 4 ?
I hope this make sense.

You always set up the jig according to the ACTUAL size, not the nominal size. So, in the case of your 2x4, you would set the jig and bit for 1 1/2"--the actual thickness of a 2x4. For a 1x, the actual thickness is 3/4".

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…
