Great video. Super easy to follow. Thanks

[@_Shopfix]

You’re welcome:)

[@usshelld7537]

Great instructions, after watching several videos this one makes sense. I now have the confidence to make the pocket holes in an heirloom piece of furniture.

[@gvdlc]

Wow, best video that actually shows how to use the jig step by step and thank you for zooming in so we can see it and not just take your word for it. For that reason alone I subscribed.

Thanks a lot for the shared knowledge!

[@orbeuniversity]

Thank you for this video. This was a very thorough and concise explanation. I am a beginner to woodworking and was debating whether to get a pocket hole jig. This clarified all my concerns.

[@tonybells131]

Good instruction video, thanks.

You are very welcome!!! Glad to help!!

[@FinancialClowning]

Thanks❤

[@jenfogle]

Great video, thank you. I really need help using this tool going the opposite direction on the 2x4. I’m laying 2x4’s side by side but it seems like maybe it won’t work this way? Appreciate anyone’s help!

[@deviaskid]

great job!

[@_Shopfix]

Thank you! Glad you liked it!

[@joev2374]

Thanks for this! Very helpful and informative!

Very nice William! Thank you for showing the budget friendly pocket hole method and it’s usefulness. I have the 520 since I do a lot of pocket holes and one of the mini’s I thought I’d never use. I will soon have to use it in the ceiling where drywall had to be cut out and at least one 2x4 needs to be installed for new drywall to attach to. Perfect 🤩 ! If anyone has long leg pieces as frame for shelves as I did yesterday with a 45” and 16” pocket hole joinery of boards. I found it easy to lay them on edge for face-to-end screw installation. A couple of hold-down clamps, a bar clamp, and verifying square along way worked best. For some reason I thought the leg had to be up in the air. Thank you again. Is there a way to submit my table saw stand and table that I’m making based on your plans for that?

[@_Shopfix]

You’re welcome! This Kreg jig 310 would definitely help add a 2x4 into an existing wall, good idea. Thank you for adding your advice and tips within your comment! I would recommend adding a comment to the table saw video about any tips once you’ve built it yourself for anyone else that watches the video, that would help!

[@Blah-blah-sure]

Fantastic video. With a very helpful tip at the end. As a newbie to the Kreg pocket hole product. I have the 720 pro + Which includes this 310. And I found the 310 to be much easier & useful.

[@richardpcrowe]

For the slight price difference, I think that the KREG 320 is a better buy.

[@wk7060]

Great video.

While I'm not generally a fan of pocket screws compared to traditional mortise and tenon joinery, there are occasional times when pocket screws are handy. I will use them when joining 3/4" rails and styles when installing wall paneling systems in my customer's homes and offices. The pocket screw system allow me to join perpendicular boards when fitting up and better ensures a smooth and level appearance at each intersection of the rail and style grids. I appreciate this video!

[@AndrewScarella]

Can I use 2 inch Kreg Jig screws with that 1 1/2 inch pocket jig hole?

[@DharmYogi]

Is the direction of the hole to the joining wood correct in your demo?

[@_Shopfix]

The other way would probably be more ideal and have the screws facing the long side of the board rather than the end of the board but you can orientate the holes either way and it still works. Especially with this thick of lumber I don’t think there’s any huge advantage between the two.

[@_Shopfix]

I just looked this up on the kreg jig website and they say that both orientations are just as strong and that there’s no difference in durability between the two. They say what matters most is if the screws are going to be concealed for aesthetics.

[@calm3542]

Two comments. The inside out pocket hole you demo'd is a much weaker joint than outside in (notwithstanding the need for a plug). When you are drilling hole, best to soft jackhammer (in and out)

[@EndijsL]

It was ok but you didn't explain from what point on the jig and drill bit those measurements have been taken.

[@MangoAficionado]

Thanks for The video,useless if I can’t use my own screws

[@randomtube8226]

I got the 320 for beginners and broke it on the first use 😞

[@ednaturnbull8564]

you really don't known much about pocket holing? what about first mentioning material size, selecting type and length of screw, then test drilling and if necessary adjusting collar depth on drill bit.👎

[@_Shopfix]

I cover each of those things you mentioned in this video. There’s no need to do a test drill as long as you adjust the depth collar correct in the first place. As I explain in the video, you measure the material thickness with the Allen wrench and then adjust the stop collar based on that measurement.

[@tldrttyl]

I think he did an excellent job of explaining all of the basics.

[@krannz]

He did cover all that, he did awesome without making a super long video.

[@jessicasimonsen9737]

What do I do if I’m working with material size of 4x4 piece attaching to another 4x4 piece?
