Repair Applications
7
For repair applications, remove the drill guide from the drill
guide socket and clamp it directly to the workpiece.
For ½" (13mm)-thick material, align the bottom of the drill
guide with the edge or end of the part to be drilled. For thicker
stock, attach one or more spacer blocks to the drill guide.
Each spacer block accommodates an additional ¼" (6mm)
in material thickness. For example, ¾" (19mm)-thick material
requires one spacer block, 1" (25mm)-thick material requires
two blocks, and 1¼" (32mm)-thick material requires three
blocks. One spacer block is included with your Kreg Jig
Additional blocks are available.
When using the drill guide separately in a repair application,
remember to set the drill-bit stop collar, and firmly secure the
drill guide to the workpiece with a bar clamp, C-clamp or Kreg
face clamp. In situations where using a clamp is not possible,
you may screw the drill guide directly to the workpiece, as
shown.

Vacuum Port
This chip-collection attachment snaps into place on the
back of the drill guide socket. The port accepts a standard
1¼" (32mm) vacuum hose. In addition to helping keep your
work area clean, efficient chip removal speeds up drilling
time and reduces heat build-up, extending the life of your
drill bit.
Workpiece Support Stop
The support stop can be screwed directly to your work
surface. To support large panels, pivot the stop arm down
and rest the panel on the stop base. For repetitive pocket-
hole drilling operations, pivot the stop arm up and adjust
the nylon machine screw to the desired position. The nut
and bolt work together to provide easy adjustment and the
knurled nut locks the bolt in position.
Face Clamp
To keep joints perfectly aligned when driving pocket screws,
clamp the workpieces to a flat surface, centring the clamp
pad over the joint line. Adjust the clamp to apply enough
pressure to keep the workpieces flush and stable but not
so tight that clamping and unclamping are difficult.

Portable Base
Use this base for large panels or assemblies that would
be difficult to clamp into a bench-mounted jig. Remove
the drill guide from the drill-guide socket and slide it into
the portable base. Align the mark on the side of the drill
guide that matches the thickness of the workpiece with
the top edge of the portable base. Screw in the locking
pin. The base also accepts Micro and HD drill guide
blocks. Built-in cams secure the portable base to a Kreg
face clamp.
Mitred Corners
For boards at least 3" (76mm) wide, pocket holes
drilled with the "A" and "C" guides both fit entirely on
the face of the board. In this situation, simply position
the mitred workpiece on the jig, clamp it in place,
and drill.
For boards at least 2 ⁄ " (66mm) wide, pocket holes

drilled with the "B" and "C" guides both fit entirely on
the face of the board. In this situation, simply position
the mitred workpiece on the jig, clamp it in place,
and drill.
To position a pocket screw close to the mitre "toe"
on a wide workpiece or to position a second pocket
screw on a narrow workpiece and still have the hole
entirely on the face of the part, drill the pocket hole
closest to the mitre heel with the drill guide in the drill
guide socket. Remove the guide from the socket.
For ¾" (19mm)-thick stock, attach a spacer block to
the drill guide. Position the drill guide with the spacer-
block end 1½" (38mm) from the mitre toe, and then
angle the drill guide away from the toe at a 30-degree
angle. Clamp the drill guide in place and drill the
pocket hole.
You also can drill one pocket hole on each side of
a mitre joint rather than drilling both holes on the
same side.
