To secure a miter joint with Kreg Jig ® HD ®
Screws, position your Kreg Jig ® HD to drill one ®
pocket-hole about ½” from the miter “heel.”
Then, to get a screw close to the miter “toe”
and still have the pocket-hole entirely on the
face of the part, remove the Stop Block from
the Drill Guide. Position the Drill Guide with the
“Stop Block end” 2 ½” from the miter toe, and
then angle the Drill Guide away from the toe
at a 30-degree angle. Clamp the Drill Guide
in place and drill the pocket-hole. Where the
distance between pocket-holes approaches 6”,
drill another pocket-hole midway between the
two. In general, pocket-holes should be spaced
about 3” center-to-center along a joint. You can
drill pocket-holes in both parts, as shown on the
2x4 example, or drill them all in one part.
