  • nice invention by the ancient egyptians

  • How much this machine CIF to Bahrain seaport

  • kool stuff

  • I have used both version of Kregs pocket screw machines, they work well with on exception; it drills the screw at a angle witch tends to pull the joint out of alinement. Port a Cable also makes a pocket screw machine, I like the resault a little better only do to that the hole is drilled straight and the joint didn't try and pull itself out of alinement. In the end the cost of the Port a Cable was about the same.

  • @Pharoh5026 I prefer the Porter cable too... Less splitting, and you don't have to use them horrible square drive screws...

  • yall be quiet! Im learnin here.

  • I have a friend who was using a chop-saw, just the same way your guy was. The saw dragged in the work-piece, and despite the guard, my friend's hand went with it. result half an arm lost. (Surgeons managed to stitch the arm back on, but my friend has only limited use of that hand now.) If I was that guy in the vid, I'd be holding the work-piece down with a notched piece of wood.

  • What saw brand is seen in the beginning of the video?

  • win i win the lottery, i'll be able to afford these toys... very very good product

  • @ 4:03 the material is not "flipped" end for end, but SPUN. Otherwise you'll have holes on opposite sides.

    Btw the system works great!

  • mmmmmmm, I'd rather use a stick and cope router set.

  • This is the best tool I have ever spent my money on without a doubt. Its not the fully automatic version but it saves so much time, and the best bit is the customer is amazed with the finished product.

  • @dukestt Thanks! Quite the compliment! Have you seen the new Kreg Community? kregjig.ning.com

  • @dukestt

    Absolutely. Could not agree more.

    

  • Everyone has their own methods, but just out of curiosity, why do you recommend a thin layer of glue for the faceframe in addition to the screw? From my experience, using the K3 Master system for my face frames, the glue really only adds a negligible amount of strength, if any at all. Face frames are long grain to end grain butt joinery, which, historically, proposes a terrible glue bond, which is why the pocket screws and mechanical fasteners in general are a wonderful and welcome solution.

  • Quick screws and Kreg jigs are great. We use them in my shop.

  • @dustinhaugh Thanks for the comment! Glad the Kreg Jigs are working out in your shop!

  • This is great! They have solved the most commonly problems with fastening the pieces.! Awsome!

  • quality means everything. if being fast is all you want why bother making frames in the first place? Take a block.

  • @WolYou Your question assumes that being fast, and getting high quality, are mutually exclusive terms. I think anyone who had tried these techniques would tell you that in addition to being incredibly fast, Kreg Jigged frames are among the strongest out there!

    Thanks for your comment!

  • this is a great tool

  • Can you share what type of Miter Saw and Sander you used in creating and finishing the faceframe?

  • I;d be so lost without the Kreg jigs in my workshop! I don'r have the higher priced versions, but what I do have works well for me. I made my own fixture, which has greatly speeded up my production.

    A suggestion for the person with the splitting wood problem. Try running the screw in partly, backing it out a bit and then in again. Two or three times should do the job. Also try a bit of parafin on the screw...especially with Hard Maple or Hickory wood.

  • Oh yes, I have installed Klamp plates all over my workbench. That Bench Klamp system, rocks in my shop! I never knew what I was missing until I installed those!

    Okay, I sound like an advert for Kreg. But trust me, I have not recieved any compensation nor do I expect to. I simply believe in this line of products. They really ARE that good!

  • @rickbell7 Thanks for the great comments!

  • this all seems great but am i the only who thinks its all abit overkill with all these tools, maybe i am just cynical coz i cannot afford such tools but still they are all top ideas, congrats to kreg, very innovative company i have noticed.

  • Thanks for the compliments, Don. Most of the tools shown in this video are designed for professionals who need to get projects done as quickly as possible. For hobbyists, DIY'ers, and traditional woodworkers we've got a wide range of smaller and more affordable tools that produce many of the same results. Instead of a Pocket-Hole Machine, you'll want a Kreg Jig. Instead of the Framing table, you'll want the Klamp Table, etc.

    Good luck, and good woodworking!

  • I have the jig and it has paid foritself ten times over....no more ugly butt joints , with exposed screw heads for me.

  • My Kreg pocket hole screws sometimes split the second piece of wood they go into. This is partly due to the fact that the jig does not drill a pilot hole any further than the first piece of wood. But maybe the wood I'm using is crappy? Any thoughts?

  • The fact that we only machine one side of the workpiece is one of our biggest benefits. It makes alignment and assembly faster/easier/less complicated.

    The reason your wood is splitting is most likely due to the type of screws you're using. We recommend using quality Kreg screws because they include several unique features designed to eliminate this problem. A self-tapping tip, small screw diameter, and variable thread sizes... be sure to use fine threaded screws in hardwood.

    Good luck!

  • The type of screws I'm using ARE the Kregs, of the length and coarseness recommended, but my wood still splits sometimes.

  • probably using plywood with two diffrent thickness.  Or not setting the depth of your drill bit correctly.

  • this is like wood workers porn

  • I use the 140 dollar kit and it works on everything! I would consider the automatic 2 holer and change my rail size, as I make furniture, and needn't worry about cabinet standards.

    The hold down table looks like you could crank out a lot of frames with 1 operator.

    Kreg is very impressive.

  • I too, use the same kit that you mentioned (Kreg Jig K3 Master Kit)...and have nothing but positive things to say about it! On another hand, I would love to get my hands on the 'Foreman' one-hole pneumatic unit...which retails for roughly $900.00. As we move more and more into built-ins and custom entertainment units, this is gonna be a must! Peace.
