FAQs

What is the primary use of this jig set?

The Triton Double Mini Pocket-Hole Jig Set is designed for creating pocket holes in wood for joinery work, such as panel fixing, corners, and mitre joints.

What materials can I use with this jig?

This jig is suitable for use with materials from 12mm (1/2") thick and upwards.

Does the set come with a drill bit?

Yes, the set includes a step drill bit, a collar, a key and a square drive bit, along with the mini jig.

How do I determine the correct screw length?

Screw length is determined by the thickness of the material being joined. Ensure the screw length is appropriate for the material.

Can I use this jig with hardwoods?

Yes, you can use the jig with hardwoods, but ensure you drill at a slower speed to prevent the bit from overheating and ensure you're using the correct screws.

How do I clean the jig?

Wipe the jig down with a dry cloth after each use to remove sawdust and debris.

Troubleshooting

Pocket holes are not aligning correctly.

Ensure the jig is securely clamped to the workpiece and that the material is flush against the jig. Check the drill bit is straight and the correct depth collar setting.

Drill bit is getting stuck.

Reduce the drill speed and apply even pressure. Clear the drill bit of wood chips frequently. Consider using wax on the bit.

Screws are stripping the wood.

Use the correct screw size for the material thickness. Avoid over-tightening the screws.
