I do use biscuit and Kreg combinations, for example when gluing up a tabletop I put a screw between biscuits to "clamp" the glued joint. This saves on clamps and makes the piece less unwieldy while the glue goes off. It also helps with alignment.

<p>The bead-lock joinery system is effective.</p>

<p>The beadlock system is more complex and time consuming to Kreg's Pocket Hole System.</p>
<p>With Kreg's, it's </p>
<p>''drill---clamp---drive''.</p>
<p>Can't get much simpler than that.</p>

<p><br/>I had a a dowel jig made by General Tools and found the same problem as Ken, 'in accurate" I also have two dowel jigs made by Stanley Tools and that are also in accurate. I have set them in the dark corner of my shop so that I can't find them and replaced it with a jig known as a "dowl-it" . This is the same tool as Ken is using. They are accurate and well made. I have the "dowl-it 2000" model and bought it over 10 years ago to use when a dowel was needed. Rockler sells the same tool of which the get from the company known as "dowl it" company. <a href="http://www.dowl-it.com/">http://www.dowl-it.com/</a>. If you are in need of a doweling jig I highly reccoment this one. They still make the model 2000 and sell for around $50.00.</p>

<p>(make a practice pieces before proceding with production).</p>

<p>This style jig is intended to be positioned on the face side of the work-piece.</p>
<p>This style is much simplier to use.</p>
<p>Alignment of the line is easier.</p>
<p>Use a knife ''scribed'' line for most accurate placement of holes, vs using a crayon.</p>
