The jig has a sliding scale that allows you to set the depth according to the material thickness. The hooked on wood china tools 21 (I think ) video is an indepth review Edit Here is the video

Use a bearing guided bit that will draw the cut into the board, ideally a compression bit. Also cover the circumference with masking tape to minimize the risk of tear out or score the rim with a sharp knife.

If it is running when you apply the sander there is a large chance that the edge will catch on the wood and you end up with a big divit or score to get rid of

Hi Chris, will do, ta very much :)

chuck a bin bag over it and go for it, the rains not that bad lol, Ive just been out for an hour with the dog

With pocket holes there is a tendency for the board with the hole to shift slightly as it finally tightens up to the opposite board. Using a clamp or a dowel helps prevent any misalignment that can occur.

Here is the jig I made, It has a centre out T-track ruler fitted to allow me to fit stops for repeated accurately spaced pockets. Push board in from left and use righthand ruler and then once passed the centre use the same numbers on the left edge to get matching holes...

The bits that give both cuts are called "compression bits", if you want to search for them. They are more expensive by quite a bit but give t he best results when a clean edge is needed on both sides of a board. They are a fairly specialized bit of kit but are becoming more available at a...

My sympathy goes out to you Mike. You must be so frustrated with it, especially as you have bought this along with your other machines to be your main interest in "retirement" after a career of service and putting up with all that entails. It is indicative of the times that so many are just...

18mm MDF will be fine. Your main consideration should be how much weight will be put in it and use the appropriate mounting method. If you want it to look like it is made from wood then buy MDF with a veneer in the wood of choice and by a length of the same wood, enough to make a lipping to go...
