FAQs
What kind of screws should I use?
Use pocket hole screws designed for the thickness of your timber. The jig comes with a selection of screws to get you started.
How do I adjust the jig for different wood thicknesses?
Use the built-in drill depth gauge and reversible depth gauges to set the correct drilling depth according to the timber thickness.
Can I use this jig with hardwoods?
Yes, but you may need to pre-drill pilot holes to avoid splitting the wood, especially with very hard materials.
How do I replace the drill bit?
The drill bit is held in place by a set screw. Loosen the set screw, remove the old bit, insert the new one, and tighten the screw.
What is the square drive bit for?
The square drive bit is used to drive the pocket hole screws into the wood.
What if my joints aren't tight?
Make sure your wood pieces are flat, and the pocket holes are drilled correctly. Ensure that the screws are fully tightened.
Troubleshooting
Holes are not aligning correctly.
Double-check the depth gauge setting and ensure the wood pieces are clamped securely.
Screws are stripping the wood.
Use the correct screw size for your timber thickness, and don't overtighten the screws.
