Kreg Owners' Community

im a new kreg jr owner and would like to clarify the mounting of the jig.

i understand that the movable measurement guides on the side of the jig are to be latched to the end of the wood when you need to make the pocket holes.

then i noticed a video with it being used to repair under the steps of a staircase.

the jig is attached using a screw to the project where you drill the holes upwards.

i noticed that he removed the guides and put them back in 'reverse' so the latch is facing upwards this time so it can be attached FLUSHED to the surface.

if this is done, can you still use it to measure the desired depth needed for the material?

sorry i typed in too much :D thanks!

Can you provide a link to that video? I need to repair some stairs and this might just be what I need!
Joey, good question. That is correct - you can reverse out the Easy-Press Sliders so that the legs point upwards instead of downwards. Then, just put them at the same notch and they'll be set for the thickness of wood you're working with. So, in the stair example, if they're 3/4" thick, you just set the sliders at the normal 3/4" marking when reversed, position the edge of the sliders at the end of the material, and you're set to go!

Rene, here's the video he's talking about. Skip ahead to about the 2:16 mark to see the application in question.

great! thanks for the replies!
I appreciate the video - just what I was looking for!

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…

Not Pleased With Pocket Hole Construction

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…
