Operation
To create strong joints, you'll adjust machine settings to match the
thickness of the workpiece and the length of the screw. The Foreman
makes this easy, in just four simple steps:
Do not reach inside the machine base from the bottom
WARNING
when the machine is connected to power.
(1) Position the Fence for Workpiece Thickness
For a strong joint, the pocket screw should exit at the center of
the workpiece thickness. This is accomplish this by adjusting the
fence position.
Unlock the fence (16) by rotating the fence-lock handles (15)
counterclockwise. Align the rear edge of the fence with the workpiece
thickness marks (21) cast into the machine top (12) that correspond
to your workpiece thickness. Rotate the handles clockwise to lock the
fence in place.
ATTENTION
When drilling pocket holes in ½" [13mm]-thick
material using the optional Micro Pocket™ drill guide and drill
bit, the rear edge of the fence must be positioned ⅛" [3mm]
behind the lines marked ½" that are cast into the machine top.
This produces a pocket hole deep enough to fully seat a ¾"
[19mm]-long panhead pocket screw and allows plugging with a
Micro plug.
(2) Choose a Screw
Kreg offers a complete line of pocket screws for every workpiece
thickness and type. Use this chart to select the correct screw length.
All Kreg pocket screws are available at your Kreg dealer or online at
www.kregtool.com.
Coarse Thread
Due to the large diameter and thread pitch, our #8 coarse-thread screws offer a
strong hold in softwoods and composite materials such as plywood, particleboard,
and MDF.
Fine Thread
Because the smaller diameter and thread pitch of our #7 fine-thread screws reduce
the chance of splitting the material, we recommend them for hardwoods.
