I am attaching a 3/4 inch piece to a 1-1/2 inch piece (2x4).
Which Piece do I use to determine my Drill Guide setting , the 3/4 inch or the 1-1/2 inch??
Thx

Thank you, Yes the chart is in the instruction booklet.
So the setting is based on the size the screw will be going into, not the size that it will be going through?

3/4 jig setting using a 2" screw. There is a chart that has all the setting and screw sizes. I wasn't able to attach it but you might find it somewhere in the forum
Yes, that image shows that you will be drilling pocket holes into the 2x4. In this case you need to use the ¾" setting on both the drill bit and the jig. Then use 1¼" screws to attached the 2 pieces together.
Looking forward to seeing this project as it progresses.
Enough already, do a test piece and see how it works.--------------------------------------------Basically, what Johnny D. Rich said: do a test piece.On the Kreg Tool Company home page, go to the media center.I believe it's on the "More Product Videos" section.There's a video titled, "How to choose the best Kreg Screw for your project".The guy there does a pretty good explanation on how to join different thicknessesof wood. And he pretty much said what Johnny D. said: do a test joint on scrap to see howit comes out.

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…

Several months ago, I purchased the Kreg K4MS so that I could build the Lego Table as outlined on the companion "buildsomething" web site which exclusively uses pocket hole construction. I have considerable experience with conventional…
