I am thinking about using the Kreg system to fasten 1" cherry boards
to make my kitchen counter tops. I quizzed the Kreg rep ant the Atlanta wood working show over the weekend he said there should not be a problem at all and would work fine with no glue,which sounds good to me but I would rather only do it once. Any feed back would appreciated.
Thanks

I did this with a small vanity top from 1" oak. I haven't used it yet because the seams are so obvious on the ends once routered with a decorative edge. This happened because it was planed from rough lumber and the edges were not perfect. Once fitted together there were some small gaps. So, make sure the edges that fit together are absolutely perfect!
I would love to see pictures!
Screws will hold but joints are not sealed. Is Cherry a good idea for a counter top ? Check with a lumber co.
Kim- Did you have any edge banding around the top where you routed it?

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…
