Master Toolboxx Collection

I have been doing woodworking for years and have looked at the Kreg systems but never took the plunge. Last spring I saw a great deal on the Masterboxx collection that came with the K3. I just finished building a complete kitchen with it and I am SOLD. I did face frame cherry cabinets and ease of making and attaching the face frames makes me wonder why I didn't investigate this earlier.

Purchased the shelf pin jig which also proved to be a game changer. Just added an automaxx bench…

Kreg Micro Jig

I just finished a project using the Kreg Micro Jig with 1/2" birch plywood. I made a few test holes and then began. It worked perfectly. I used the special 3/4" fine screws for hardwood. Every single hole was perfect. I've read where others had trouble with the tip of the screw coming through on the finished side. When you use the proper tools, do some tests, and follow the instructions you'll come out just fine.

KREG BENCHTOP ROUTER TABLE REVIEW UPDATE.

Well had the benchtop router table a fair while now .Overall pretty pleased with it ,however another small problem i have discovered is concerning the table overhang.Its really non existent, so it does not lend itself well too clamping any auxcillary fences too the edge of the table .Which i have needed to do at times, you can clamp too the edge but you need a spacer block between the metal frame of the table and your clamp so it sits flat very fiddly.So just a suggestion to kreg would it be…

Byrd Shelix Journel Head (installed on 15inch Jet)

Finally got the Byrd Shelix Journal Head installed on my planer.  Ordered it through Holbren, Sawmill Creek members get 10% off, SMC10 is the code.  First off, I installed the head by myself and it was completely painless, I was shocked to say the least.  I will say that I am thrilled that I had Byrd install new bearings for me and I would suggest if you are thinking of upgrading that you do the same thing.  I also ordered a new gasket for the gear box while I was at it, I would recommend…

Kreg Universal Drawer Slide Mounting Jig & Brackets Review

One of my favorite toys is my Kreg Drawer Slide Jig.  There are actually two jigs that you'll want to use to help you install a drawer.  These two jigs really compliment each other, and make completing drawer installs a snap.  I picked up both jigs from Amazon for a really reasonable…

Kreg Rip Cut

I was fortunate enough to receive a Kreg Rip Cut last spring as they were first shipping but didn't begin using it until this fall.  Initially I attempted to attach the Rip Cut to my Worm Drive Mag framing saw.  The base of that saw has a lip that is great for pushing dust out of the way but makes it difficult to attach the Rip Cut, so I got out my back up saw- an older…

Kreg sawdust jig relief

We have found the holes in the three hole block imeed the discharge of sawdust during the final depth of the drill bit. We do a lot of hard wood work which appears to be when this plugging of the discharge holes occures. We were wondering if anyone else has this problem and if a solution would be to lower the relief holes to allow sawdust discharge nearer the base of the block.

My new Kreg tool box

I received a Kreg tool box for Christmas this year.  I love it.  I now have a place to keep all of my Kreg clamps, extra drill bits, extra driver bits, and even my Kreg tool in the bottom of the tool box.  I love the removable trays for screw in the top of the box and the see thru lid.  I love the way that the top is supported with the legs in the back when you lift the top lid to get to the bottom.  The only way this box could have been better is is the bottom was a little deeper but it's…

Square Cut is not square

I bought a Square Cut to use with my circular saw.



Just before making the first cut I decided to check the angle, and unfortunately the “right angle” came out not to be exact. At first I became very frustrated and was ready to throw it away on the upper shelve. But, as several cuts had to be made at the time, I solved the problem by sticking several pieces of…

Kreg RipCut

First off I have to say just how much I LOVE my rip cut!! It was easy to set up, so very easy to use and I love the fact that I don't have to ask my hubby to come out and help me when I need to rip down my sheet goods! The only thing that I can say bad about it is that the guide on the left could be a bit longer so that when you get to the end of your cut you are still staying true to the cut itself.  After a couple dozen cuts I've gotten to where I can keep that plane going, but it's still…

Kreg Shelf Pin Jig Review

The Kreg Shelf Pin Jig is an excellent jig to add your woodworking collection.  I've done the "make your own" pegboard type of jig.  The problem is you cut it down to size and it seems like you never get it right the first time.  When you do finally get it right it still feels a little off…

New Kreg 720Pro

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…
