The enclosed video explains how to use the jig to build a face-frame bathroom vanity. I found it sufficient to get me started in using the jig.

Here are some recommendations I have based upon using this jig for a little while

1) The pocket hole drill bit is large and removes a good amount of wood. If you are working in hardwood like I am, don't use a cordless drill to drill the pocket holes. Instead, pick up a corded drill like the inexpensive Dewalt keyless chuck drill on sale here (that's what I use) - your drilling time will go down to almost nothing, your holes will be cleaner, and the bit will stay sharper. If you use a second drill to do the assembly (I use a cordless for this) you will plow through just about anything quickly without having to change bits.

2) Mount the jig to a piece of strong, very flat plywood. Baltic or finnish birch is always a good choice.

3) Keep all the little pieces in the case. They're easily lost otherwise.

4) Make sure your ends are very square. The pocket hole screws really draw the pieces together tight, so now is the time to make sure your miter saw or table saw blade is perfectly square.

5) Buy or build a clamp-on square, or build a fixture to hold the pieces square during assembly. Again, the screws torque the wood a bit during assembly, possibly throwing them out of square if you only use the face clamp.

6) In a typical two-screw join, screw both in almost to the end before cinching them each up. That will help hold things square.

7) Buy the angle clamp. I've found that a good choice to hold two pieces tight together.

8) Use only the good, hardened Kreg pocket hole screws. You'll be disappointed with cheap knockoffs, and might end up ruining a part. Amazon sells the assortment packs here - they're a good buy.

Like any tool or jig, you need to learn to use it properly. It will only take you a few joints before you learn just how easy and powerful this little guy is. :-)

Review : Don't be afraid to give this joint maker a try, you will be suprised how fast and easy you can make perfect joints. I just built an entire set of kitchen cabinets using the kreg pro, and it more than paid for itself in time and labor and frustration. Very easy to use. Great tool.

Review : This is great tool for making easy joints, I have used them in outdoor tables where I don't want the joints to show. I am finding more and more uses for this product every day. The set up is easy and it really make a strong joint in seconds.
I have just completed a pie safe and the inside joints were made even beter with the plugs. They seem to disapear after sanding and finishing.

This Kreg kit is one slick setup. (Rating: 5.00)
Review : I've used my Kreg kit for several months now. It sure makes a difference in the speed of assembly. I whipped up a router table in no time and a lot of other projects besides. Works great on dimensional lumber too. Used it to make the 2X4 framing for a utility building addition as well as the framing for flooring in my aluminum boat. It's great having everything all packed in the carrying case ready to go. Setup is a snap and sure cuts down on the need for lots of clamps.

Absolutely Incredible (Rating: 5.00)
Review : On the advice of a cabinet maker friend of mine, I decided to use Pocket Hole Joinery to build my new kitchen cabinets. I couldn't afford a production machine like he was using but saw a Kreg demonstration at a woodworking show.

I've finished my cabinets now (as well as several other projects) and am for ever sold on this product. I've demonstrated this jig to a few friends and they were impressed as well.

Usually my results at home aren't nearly as impressive as those in the hands of the masters at the woodworking show demostrations. This tool works the same at home as it did at the show.

If you purchase this kit and have an extensive project to do, get an extra bit (KREG BITXXX), I've pretty well dulled two now. You will also need two boxes of screws, one for hardwood (SPS-F125) and one for softwood (SML-C125). I've gone through about 1500 screws now (each box has 1000).
