For repair applications, remove the drill guide from the drill
guide socket and clamp it directly to the workpiece.
For ½" (13mm)-thick material, align the bottom of the drill
guide with the edge or end of the part to be drilled. For thicker
stock, attach one or more spacer blocks (U) to the drill guide.
Each spacer block accommodates an additional ¼" (6mm)
in material thickness. For example, ¾" (19mm)-thick material
requires one spacer block, 1" (25mm)-thick material requires
two blocks, and 1¼" (32mm)-thick material requires three
blocks. One spacer block is included with your Kreg Jig
Additional blocks are available.
When using the drill guide separately in a repair application,
remember to set the stop collar, and firmly secure the drill
guide to the workpiece with a Kreg clamp. In situations where
using a clamp is not possible, you may screw the drill guide
directly to the workpiece, as shown.
To increase clamp pressure, turn
the knurled-head screw to the
left (viewed from the handle-end
of the clamp); for less pressure,
turn the screw to the right.
