This woman should teach other KZbinrs how to make videos. This is better than excellent. Not a wasted moment. Every word was valuable.

[@Anikasdiylife]

Ha! You are so kind, There are plenty of great KZbinrs out there but I really do appreciate your kindness. I'm glad it is useful!

[@nas2838]

So simple and easy thanks for the video. The last video i watched sounded and looked like an infomercial. No demonstration at all. You did good

[@Anikasdiylife]

I am so glad you found it helpful!

[@chevynova-1970]

Probably the best KZbin video ever!

[@keirwells4846]

Thank you so so much for such a clear and simple guide to using the Kreg 320. I purchased one today to help me build my van-based full-time tiny home. You saved me an enormous amount of time in experimenting (and mistaking, no doubt). Again, thank you! :-)

[@mitch5077]

I just bought a 320 and kinda didn't understand the instructions but your video made it simple. Thank You

[@SweeturKraut]

I bought one of these today based on your recommendation, I already used it to mount a vertial panel that holds a hanging bin system. It was really easy to use!

[@cindy20115]

Love ur way how you explain using tools, so convenient for beginners like me 🤚🏻😅

[@FredMcIntyre]

Awesome job on the shelf Anika! 😃👍🏻👊🏻 .... Also, thanks for the info on the Kreg 320 as well as the demonstration.

[@jamesD104]

Very well done. Thank you so much for this video!

[@butterscotch598]

Anika, do you have a video that explains the correct positioning of pocket holes in order to ensure a strong connection? I've learned that if you drill the screws in the wrong orientation you create a weak connection but the explanations are not very clear to me. Thank you

[@brianmorris8045]

Great work, but invest in some Kreg corner clamps to make life easier next project. I have one, very useful.

[@FredRose2001]

Thank you for a clear instructions, just one thing when swopping from one thickness of wood to another you make the adjustment on the dill bit, BUT such a simple question, do you have to use different length screws to suit?? The other thing is for people that are not in the USA is there a metric version of the 320. The USA is the only country in the world that still uses imperial, so quant.

[@Anikasdiylife]

Agree about US being weird with using imperial. I grew up with metric and after 22 years in the US I still adjusting to imperial 😂. Yes. You need to use a different screw length. I believe there is a metric version available.

[@rmensink]

Perfectly explained!

[@Anikasdiylife]

Glad it was helpful!

[@Alabamawoodshop]

Great demonstration of the new kreg jig.👍👍😁

Thank you

[@MBMCincy63]

Just now saw the garden bed with latticework, and followed to here. Subbed. Q: where can I find or what do I call the long screw bit? Extension?

[@patrickrafferty9156]

Great demo, thanks !

[@aragorn_dg800]

Great job and nice presentation!

[@Omnivorous1One]

If you wanted to use this for a 1” piece of wood is it possible to set it to 1.5” & use the 1” piece of wood with a scrap .5” wood piece? Would that set up the pocket holes correctly or would it be better to find an R3 model since it has more thickness settings?

[@Schubhamn]

बहुत अच्छा समझाया आपने .

[@fionagoode327]

I must have one of these! Thanks!

[@glodilocks33]

This is very helpful.

[@amadri1221]

Hello and thank you for this tutorial. So if the wood is 1/2 inch I would use 1/2 inch screws? I’m seeing mixed information in google and now I’m confused. Thanks!

[@cliffordjones6967]

Great job! This helped me alot!

[@batyrenko]

What is the DeWalt tool model do you use in your video? I have an impact screw drive, but it's not what you use, right?

[@Anikasdiylife]

It’s a power drill/driver. An impact driver is not recommended to use with pocket hole screws because it will end up overdriving the screw and you won’t get a strong joint

[@richardpcrowe]

If I am using my Kreg 320 jig for drilling pocket holes in a piece of wood with a thickness other than 1/2, 3/4, or 1.5 inch - such as 5/8 or 1 inch; how do I determine where to place the collar on the drill or the stops on the jig. I noticed that I cannot set the stops between the given depths because the indents will not secure the stops from moving. Should I use the indicated stops for the thicker or thinner material. i.e.: use 3/4 inch or 1.5 inch indicated for drilling in material that is 1 inch thick?

[@Anikasdiylife]

Always use the thinner wood thickness setting. There's a chart in this post that should help! www.anikasdiylife.com/use-kreg-pocket-hole-jig-video/

[@salleymartinez7927]

Hi there Anika, I am needing to drill a pocket hole on a 2X4 on the long edge. How can I get the drill to drill thru the middle part of the edge? i am making a long stretcher to connect to table legs. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated as its my 1st time (frustrated as I've tried many different options)

[@PeterBatah]

I have no plans to purchase the Kreg KHC-Premium Face Clamp. What else can I use? Thank you for sharing your time and experience with us.

[@Anikasdiylife]

You can really use any F-type clamp. As long as it can reach far enough

[@Vaibhavkhairnar19]

How do you fill the pocket holes? Do you use plugs?

[@gauravshrestha4776]

Thanks for the great info. How can I use Kreg 320 to join miter or compound cuts?

[@Anikasdiylife]

Yes!! In fact its perfect for it. Take a look at this www.anikasdiylife.com/pocket-holes-miter-joints/

[@gauravshrestha4776]

@@Anikasdiylife Thank you once again. Can I use the Kreg 320 to do anything that K4 or K5 system can do?

[@gergemall]

Thank you.

[@kathrynnewton8721]

Brilliant!

[@tyersmith6058]

What size did you use for that shelf at the end ? You wldnt happen to have the plains for that shareable?

[@Anikasdiylife]

The detailed plans for the shelf are on my website - www.anikasdiylife.com/build-simple-wall-shelf/

[@glendagonzalez2469]

I need one of those jigs.

[@Anikasdiylife]

Yes you do!

[@robertflorian1]

Great video Anika, and I've just ordered this item. the boards I'm using are 1"x 4"inch boards going into 2"x2" inch legs. What do I set the jig for? I don't see any markings for 1". Thanks for your help!:)

[@Anikasdiylife]

1” boards are actually 3/4” thick. So use the 3/4” setting. It is always a good idea to measure the boards to ensure they are the right thickness because there can be variations

[@robertflorian1]

Anika's DIY Life Thank you so much Anika! I actually found that out just after I wrote to you:) Kind of new to woodworking stuff:)

[@dcmuzic2023]

Can you use this for 2x 4s?

[@Anikasdiylife]

Yes, you totally can. You just have to set it to 1.5" setting.

[@WidyAstuti46]

I feel i am a clumpsy person, is Wood craftng for me? Its very Risky to Learn by My self. I like when assamble something, but i am afraid on cutting. Are you recommend me with traditional tol like saw?

[@Anikasdiylife]

You do need to be disciplined and careful and follow all the safety procedures

[@Alexkpz888]

I keep stripping the dang screws. I have the same drill as you. What I am doing wrong? 😣

[@Anikasdiylife]

Are you using the right screws?

[@Alexkpz888]

@@Anikasdiylife yes. I’m actually using red oak so I’m using hardwood screws.

[@Schubhamn]

India में कैसे मिलेगा ये kreg jig ?

[@stevenpacheco2291]

Will this work with 2x4?

[@Anikasdiylife]

Steven Pacheco yes. It will.

[@GQuesnelle]

Hi Anika, just wanted to le tyou know the instructions have an error. It calls for (1) 1x6 cut at 14 1/4 but you need 2.

[@krunal7558]

Hmm, how you are using 1x6 but no settings 1 inch boards on the jig

[@Anikasdiylife]

1x6 boards are actually 3/4” thick( actual vs nominal thickness) . See more information here - www.anikasdiylife.com/wood-sizes-explained/
