Step 1: Set the Drilling Depth
Slide the stop collar onto the drill bit. Insert the pilot tip of the
bit into the tip protector in the case tray, and snap the bit into
the depth-setting gauge so the stop collar rests in the recess
that has workpiece thickness marks along the edges. Push
the bit step tight against the tip protector and align the stop
collar with the mark that matches your workpiece thickness.
Tighten the stop collar set screw with the hex spanner
included with the jig.
To create strong joints, you’ll set the drilling depth, adjust
the jig position sliders, and select a screw length to match
the thickness of the workpiece. The Kreg Jig
®
R3 makes this
easy, in just three simple steps:
The example shows the stop collar positioned for a 19 mm-thick
workpiece.
Step 2: Adjust the Positioning Sliders
To adjust the jig so the screw exits at the centre of the
workpiece, turn the jig over so the bottom faces up. Press
the ridged tab on each slider with your thumb and slide it
until the mark on the slider that matches the thickness of
your workpiece aligns with the arrow on the jig body.

workpiece.
