<p>I'm sorry but this is a wonderful non-reply.</p>
<p>I ended up drilling without the jig.</p>
<p>The jig gives me a 15 degrees hole.</p>
<p>Instead I drilled at 45 degrees to the brace (perpendicular to the 45 degrees edge).</p>
<p>I think that this will give me good strength of connection while allowing for a (relatively) shorter screw or hole.</p>

<p>You can use pocket holes for this application. Unfortunately there is not a standard setup for it. Depending on the thicknesses of both your support piece and that of the apron your settings will change. The best option would be to set everything up for the thinner thickness of the two and use some scrap pieces to find the best length of screw to use to give you the most holding power. </p>
