Using the Kreg Jig

1
Set the Drill Guide
For a strong joint, the screw should exit close to the center of
the workpiece. To adjust the pocket-hole position, retract the
spring-loaded drill-guide locking pin (H). Then raise or lower
the drill guide (G) until the mark on the side of the guide that
matches the thickness of the workpiece is even with the top
of the guide socket (B). Release the locking pin.

Coarse Thread
Due to the large diameter and thread pitch,
our #8 coarse-thread screws offer a strong
hold in softwoods and composite materials.
Use in woods such as:
• Pine • Cedar • Basswood • Poplar
• Plywood • Melamine • Particle Board
All Kreg pocket screws feature a deep square drive that improves driver engagement and reduces the
possibility of cam-out. The self-tapping auger point eliminates the need to drill a pilot hole.

Fine Thread
Because the smaller diameter and thread
pitch of our #7 fine-thread screws reduce
the chance of splitting the material, we
recommend them for hardwoods.
Use in woods such as:
• Ash • Oak • Maple • Walnut • Hickory
• Cherry • Mahogany • Birch
