What happens here
A Kreg Pocket-Hole Jig is demonstrated for creating angled pilot holes in a workpiece. The jig is positioned and clamped onto the edge of a piece of wood. A specialized stepped drill bit, designed for pocket holes, is then inserted into the guide holes of the jig and driven by a cordless drill/driver. This process creates a precise pocket hole, allowing two pieces of wood to be joined with pocket-hole screws, which form strong, concealed joints often used in face frames, cabinet construction, and general joinery.
Goal: Create angled pocket holes for strong, concealed wood joints.
