Could you have used more detailed instructions with a product?
How was the product packaging and materials included?
Are there any tools you need that we aren't yet offering?
Is it difficult to find accessories at your local store?

What other content would you like to see included in the newsletter?
Were the Kreg Trim Carpentry videos useful to you?

Please use this thread to give the Kreg Family a better idea of what you need in order to advance on your woodworking journey, and to let us know where we're succeeding so far. Thanks!

No the best way is to get a White Crayon....    it's not messy... very fast and cheap...  and water proof...  I posted how to do it exactly with pictures.

give it a try.

I agree with Don: I have tried the White out but it doesn't last long. A good epoxy ink will. I like the scribing but I want them inked in as well.

HI Don

Try using some "White Out" correcting fluid. Dab it on the markings and wipe off the extra and let it dry

What I would like to see is the measurement markings on the jig made a contrasting color so they are easier to see.

From the last page... Here's the technique I would suggest!
1) Mix equal parts flour and water (2-3 tablespoons should be adequate) into a paste.
2) Carefully rub the paste into the Kreg Jig® markings with your finger.
3) Wipe away the excess paste with a very lightly dampened cloth.
4) The paste mixture will harden over time. Repeat if necessary.

This paste turns into sort of a glue... and really sticks well. It doesn't flake-out like white-out might be prone to doing.

I'd like to see a search feature on the site. Specifically I was looking for instructions for using the pocket hole jig to join mitered corners.

I keep watching the imfomercial whenever I am up late. Keeps me motivated.
How do I reduce the length of the plug extending out of the pocket hole?

I have put several projects on the Kreg site that I designed and built.  I have a lot of people asking about plans.  I do not see a way to add plans that your willing to share.  That would be a great option for both designers and builders.

[KregRep]

Good idea! Right now, the best way would probably be to attach your plan as a document to your forum posts... It might be a good idea to make this a core part of the community in the future. I will try and gauge interest going forward.

I have created a PDF document on a die-case model car display case build.  I have had a couple of people interested in getting information on making one from my plans.  Is there any way I can attach the pdf file to an existing project or create a new one that I can attach the pdf file to?  TIA

I'd like to see ''acme'' threads in the Kreg clamps.

Some Kreg clamp users are experiencing problems, with threads stripping.

[Michael Garrett]

I'd like to see the Kreg Company stand by their merchandise.  There was a post today about a kreg clamp threads stripping and kreg having no warranty on the clamps, what's up with that.

[Don Wilson]

How about some type of simple, almost fool proof tongue and groove tool or dovetail jig that is easy to setup and use.  

[Ken Darga]

Mike,

Kreg does ''stand by their merchandise''  ---

perhaps some have been uninformed or misinformed.

Any clamp, made by anyone---''threads will strip'', when over torqued.

If a clamp hasn't been over-torqued, then something else influenced thread failure.
