Kreg Owners' Community

I just bought the K5 and have used it for a few "practice" projects. Now that I will be starting my first "real" project I noticed what appears to be a "major" typo in the K5 manual. Specifically, there seems to be a typo in the "Kreg Jig Setting" column of the "Screw Selection / Kreg Jig Settings Chart" in the Settings section of the manual. The possible typo is in the 3/4" (19 mm) Material Thickness row of the chart. In that row, it states that Kreg Jig Setting should be "5/8" Mark". Shouldn't the setting be "3/4" Mark"? Looking at all the other rows, this appears to be the appropriate setting, given the arithmetic progression in the "Kreg Jig Setting" column of the chart. 

Can someone from Kreg Tools either confirm the typo or explain to me the rationale for this apparent error. 

Thank you.

Hi Bryan. When we first launched the K5, we did discover this typographical error in the chart. We corrected it right away. Not very many went out the door that way so, though you said you just bought yours, it must have been in store inventory for a while.

I just walked down to the production floor to see that, indeed, the proper corrected manual is being used. Also, I checked the downloadable version on our web site. It is up to date as it should be, as well.

I've posted a copy of the corrected manual page below as an image. If you'd like to download a new copy, you can go to the Kreg Jig K5 page at kregtool.com: Kreg Jig K5

If you'd like to get a new printed copy, our excellent Customer Service team would be glad to send you one. You can call them at 800-447-8638, or reach them using our online form.

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
