I made a cake board out of plywood and framed it in solid pine. I used pocket holes to attached the edging to the plywood. The problem I have is the srew heads are above the surface of the board once screwed in.
What have I done wrong?

Ok, actually makes sense. So then this leads to the next question. do you set the depth based on the tip of the bit, or where it widens out?
I had the same problem. I had the tip of the screw penetrate when I had the depth set on the bit correctly. I must have had the depth wrong on the block itself.
I am ready to built a couple of cabinets for my garage, I will try again and see how it goes!

Ok I am still a bit confused and want to make sure I understand the concept. You set the height of the jig to the thickness of the material that is getting the pocket hole, correct? You also set the collar on the bit based on the thickness of the material getting the pocket hole? I am making a case that is comprised of 3/4" plywood on the out side and 1/2" plywood is forming the dividers and an trying to understand how to set everything to join it properly.
Thank you in advance.
It sounds like the issue you're facing is with the screw heads protruding above the surface of the kaker board after using pocket holes to attach the edging to the plywood. One possible reason for this could be that the screws were driven in too far, causing them to extend beyond the surface. To fix this, you can try adjusting the depth setting on your pocket hole jig or using shorter screws. Alternatively, you might want to countersink the screw heads slightly by drilling a shallow hole to allow them to sit flush with the surface. Hope this helps!
I'm still a little unclear and want to ensure I grasp the concept fully. To create a pocket hole, you adjust the jig height to match the thickness of the material, right? Additionally, you set the collar on the drill bit according to the material thickness as well? I'm constructing a case made of 3/4" plywood on the exterior, with 1/2" plywood used for the spellspann dividers, and I'm trying to figure out the correct settings to join everything together effectively.

I making a hex ring out of 2x4s ripped to 2 ¾ inches wide with 30 degree miters. What setting on the Jig should I used? 1 ½ is too much. Thanks.Continue

Hi All.....I have the 35mm Kreg Jig hinge drill guide. The guide is great for 35mm Hinge Cups, but I have a speciality 40MM hinge cup to drill.Has anyone adapted the Kreg guide to work with 40mm Forsner drill bits? Or have a guide that works…Continue

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…
