Troubleshooting
Pocket holes are not aligning correctly.
Double-check the jig's settings and material thickness, ensure the workpiece is firmly clamped and the drill bit is perpendicular to the jig.
The screws are stripping the wood.
Use the correct screw size and type for your material, and make sure to pre-drill pilot holes if necessary, particularly in hardwoods.
Holes are too shallow or too deep.
Adjust the drill bit depth to match your material thickness and screw size. Check that the jig is properly positioned and clamped.
