Drilling
In addition to the proper Kreg Jig
settings, spacing pocket

holes evenly across the workpiece is an important part of
making a strong joint. The two-hole drill guide allows you to
drill holes in narrow workpieces (1½"-1⅞" [38mm-48mm])
without having to reposition the jig. For wider parts, drill
pocket holes
⁄
" [14mm] from each edge add one or more
9

pocket holes between the edge holes so the distance
between holes does not exceed 6" [152mm]. For very large
parts such as panels, we recommend placing the first pocket
hole 2" [51mm] from the panel edge and every 6" [152mm]
on center after that.
Before turning on the drill, slide the bit into the drill guide
until the tip of the bit touches the workpiece. Withdraw the
bit about ¼" [6mm]. Turn on the drill, make sure it is running
at full speed, and feed the bit into the workpiece. Always
run variable-speed or multi-speed drills at the fastest speed.
While drilling the pocket hole, partially withdraw the bit
several times to clear the chips. Stop drilling when the stop
collar contacts the drill guide. Wait until the drill stops rotating
to withdraw the bit from the drill guide.
