Basic Kreg jig set up

– Mitered cuts – Compound cuts

Pocket holes & angles

1. Set the jig height and the drill bit collar to the thickness of the wood. 2. Place the board on the jig, with the mitered end against the base.

Pocket holes in mitered joints

Before drilling the hole, be sure to check on the back of the jig to make sure that the hole in the jig isn’t exposed.
