If you do any kind of woodworking joinery, the Kreg will make your life easier.
I have used this jig to build:
- a crosscut sled for my table saw (.75" birch ply)
- walnut cabinets for my master bath (.75" walnut, .75" birch ply)
- amp cabinet enclosure for a red-knob Fender twin (.75" birch ply)
- Speaker enclosure for another guitar amp (.75" birch ply)
- A bathtub surround for a whirlpool tub (1.5" 2x4's and 2x6's, some 22.5 degree angles)
- others
This is hands-down the easiest method to join pieces I have ever used.
Pros:
+ It will join pieces at a 0 degree angle and at a right angle.
+ it will join pieces at any other angle
+ works with material thicknesses up to 1.5" (2x4's etc)
+ it is SUPER EASY and intuitive to use
+ When joining the pieces, the screws pull the pieces together, so sometimes clamps and glue aren't necessary if face alignment isn't critical.
+ the screws are cheap and readily available (Amazon, HomeDepot, Lowes, Woodcraft, etc)
+ The joints are strong
Cons:
- While the face-clamp is crucial for alignment, it's not always enough... the screws pull and will often pull stronger than this clamp. Therefore, I use a bar or pipe clamp across the long dimension to hold things absolutely still when driving the screws
- It becomes cumbersome to move the jig several times on long pieces. (they do sell pocket hole machines for production, but $$$)
- I only use pocket joinery on joints that either will be invisible, or I don't care if the holes are visible. I haven't had good experience with the plugs.
- The stop ring has slipped on me a few times, causing me to drill a few holes in my jig, and through my workpiece. If you see blue plastic in the sawdust, you'll know.
To summarize: I CAN'T RECOMMEND THIS JIG ENOUGH! It is a huge time/headache-saver. I'd pay twice this much for it in a heartbeat.
