From the Manufacturer
The ultimate package for pocket hole joinery from The Pocket Hole Professionals.  The K3 Kreg Jig is packed with loads of innovative new features.  The first of these new features is a three drill guide block that can now be used in two separate tool bodies.  Slide the block into the benchtop base and drill pocket holes on your workbench, or remove the drill guide block and quickly place it into the smaller, portable base for use on the job site.  The face of the drill guide block now features a metal insert that will produce years of clean-cut pocket holes.  In addition, the benchtop base features patent pending front side clamping that places the clamp handle on the same side or the work as your drill - No more reaching around the workpiece to clamp!  Are you tired of having to clean up wood chips after a day of drilling pocket holes?  The benchtop base also accepts a snap-on dust collection shroud that can be easily connected to a shop-vac for chip free drilling!  We've also built-in more height adjustment into the drill guide block, allowing you to center a screw in material from ½ to 1-1/2 thick in 1/8 increments.  Another new addition to the K3 model is the Material Support Stop.  This innovative feature allows you to place pocket holes in exactly the same location on multiple workpieces for true production style pocket hole drilling.  The stop is hinged so it can be easily moved out of the way when drilling panels.  Quite simply, the Kreg Jig K3 Master System is the most feature packed pocket hole tool on the market, from the legendary leader in pocket hole technology.  Patent Pending.

Customer Reviews

Kreg Jig
The Kreg system is the best jointing tool on the market. I have many uses for the tool that I didn't know it could do.

Great addition to shop
This is somthing I have wanted for awhile and now I can do more and better things in my shop. Grat product and easy to set up.

Great, but with a few problems
Kreg did a great job with this jig, but there are a few important things to keep in mind if you're thinking about doing pocket hole joinery; Things that I learned the hard way so I thought I'd share my experience.

First of all, forget about using pocket holes in MDF, Particle board, Melamine coated particle board, fiber board, etc. The screws enter too close to the edge for these materials and they just disintegrate.

Also, if you're going to be joining plywood, remember that plywood is rarely sold by actual thickness. For instance, 1/2" plywood is really 7/16" thick these days. And that 1/16" does make a difference with pocket hole joinery. The 1" screws that you're supposed to use with 1/2" material might poke out the other side if you're not careful. You can compensate for this somewhat by setting the drill depth, but you have to remember to do this and not just go with the 1/2" settings. I didn't have this problem with 3/4" material, even though it too is not really 3/4" thick.

You might want to consider buying some of the clamps they sell for doing pocket hole joinery Kreg RAC Right Angle Clamp, Kreg Standard Face Clamp. It's almost impossible to get a good joint without them. When possible, I'll tack the pieces together with brads and then drive the pocket screws, but you have to have something holding the pieces firmly together before driving the screws or it just won't work right.

If you're thinking about hooking up your shop vac to the jig, you'll probably need some sort of adapter. I wish these things were more standardized. This jig requires something like a 1 1/2" hose, my shop vac is 2 1/2".

Don't let this review scare you away from pocket hole joinery. It's quick, it's easy and it works if you know what its limitations are. And Kreg did do a great job with this jig. Well worth the price of admission.
