The jig allows me to assemble pieces with little to no alignment issues, and no glue (although glue makes the joint extra strong). Having the ability to quickly create a strong wood joint is something I was not used to. Not to mention that the joints are super strong. My main attraction to the Kreg Jig was its speed, ability to use it in the field, and lack of clamps needed. I’ve had a small Kreg pocket hole jig #310 for many years and used it on kitchen installations, to secure a refrigerator panels to the floor.Ībout a year or two ago I purchased a real Kreg Jig and started my dabbling into pocket hole construction for cabinet and face frames. This means the head will go down into the pre-drilled hole and is hidden. A “Robertson” self-tapping pan head screw is then inserted at that angle, along the grain of the wood rather than through it, creating a strong joint.
Kreg Jigs allow you to drill an angled screw hole and pilot hole. That’s what brought me to the Kreg Jig.Ī Kreg Jig is a tool used to join wood. Plus, it requires me to be in my workshop to do the work. While I still like this joint, its tedious to do, ties up the table saw and every clamp in my shop.
A tongue and dado joint, is a strong, sturdy and simple joint to make on a table saw with a dado blade.
