drilled with the "A" and "C" guides both fi t entirely

holes drilled with the "B" and "C" guides both fi t
entirely on the face of the board. In this situation,
simply position the mitered workpiece on the jig,
clamp it in place, and drill.
Mitered Corners
To position a pocket screw close to the miter
30°
"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 miter heel with
the drill guide in the drill guide socket. Remove
the guide from the socket. For ¾" (19mm)-thick
1 ⁄ "

stock, attach a spacer block (U) to the drill guide.
2
(38mm)
Position the drill guide with the spacer-block end
1½" (38mm) from the miter 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 miter joint rather than drilling both holes on
the same side.
Joining ½" (13mm)-thick stock
When using the optional Micro Pocket Drill Guide
and drill bit with ½" (13mm)-thick stock, join the
parts with Kreg SPS-F075 screws. The small-
diameter head of these ¾" (19mm) panhead
screws seats below the workpiece surface to
allow plugging with a Micro pocket-hole plug.
