It is the latest innovation in pocket-hole joinery and a premium choice for project builders who want to build smarter and faster than ever. This jig was engineered to take your wood projects to the next level — with features like one-motion Automaxx clamping, which automatically clamps and sets the material thickness setting for pieces 1/2-inch to 1-1/2-inch thick. It also includes the Kreg Docking Station, which transforms the Pocket-Hole Jig 720PRO into the ultimate benchtop workstation. Every element of this jig was crafted to maximize the work you do so you can get high-quality results.
Automaxx Clamping
The Kreg Pocket-Hole Jig 720PRO helps work more efficiently using Automaxx one-motion clamping. The clamp automatically adjusts for materials 1/2-inch to 1-1/2-inch thick. Just press the handle and the jig does the rest.
Docking Station
Add precision and stability with the included Docking Station. Use the Material Support Wings to work with longer pieces while the jig is secured with the Pocket-Hole Jig Clamp.
The Kreg Pocket Hole Jig 720PRO is designed for serious DIYers and project builders looking to create strong, hidden joinery with speed and precision. Its key benefit is the Automaxx clamping system, which simplifies material thickness adjustments and speeds up repetitive tasks. A potential caveat is its benchtop focus when using the docking station, requiring a stable workspace. This jig offers advanced features to elevate wood project quality and efficiency.

FAQs
What material thicknesses can the 720PRO handle?
The Kreg Pocket Hole Jig 720PRO is designed to work with wood materials ranging from 1/2-inch to 1-1/2-inch in thickness.
Do I need a special drill for this jig?
No, you can use a standard corded or cordless drill. However, a drill with a variable speed and clutch is recommended for optimal control.
What is the purpose of the Docking Station?
The Docking Station provides a stable benchtop platform for the jig, increasing accuracy and efficiency, and includes Material Support Wings for longer workpieces.
How does the Automaxx clamping work?
The Automaxx clamp uses a single lever action to automatically clamp the workpiece and set the correct clamping pressure based on the material thickness, eliminating manual adjustments.
Can I use the 720PRO for outdoor projects?
While the jig itself is durable, the choice of wood and fasteners for outdoor projects is critical. Use weather-resistant wood and appropriate exterior-grade pocket hole screws.
How often should I clean the jig?
It's recommended to clean wood dust and debris from the jig after each significant use to maintain performance and accuracy.
Troubleshooting
Drill bit wobbles or is inaccurate
Ensure the drill bit is securely inserted into the drill chuck and that the drill bit guide is clean and free of debris. Check that the jig itself is firmly clamped to the workbench.
Automaxx clamp not engaging properly
Verify that the material thickness is within the 1/2-inch to 1-1/2-inch range. Check for any obstructions in the clamping mechanism.
Poor chip ejection leading to dust buildup
Clear the chip ejection port regularly. Consider using a vacuum attachment if available for your setup.
Jig slides on workbench
Secure the jig more firmly using its clamp or ensure the Docking Station is securely attached to your workbench.
