Apologies to the pocket hole gurus for the following stupid question:
When using a pocket hole jig (eg Kreg R3), does the material thickness setting guarantee that the tip of the self tapping screw will not penetrate the adjoining work piece by more than its thickness? To clarify, I'm thinking of buying an R3 jig to join two pieces of 18mm stock perpendicularly, eg the joint formed when a shelf meets a vertical support, and hence want to ensure that the screw doesn't pierce the outer face of the support.
Here is a picture to explain:
I hope this question makes sense.
Cheers,
