Will the Kreg system and this set of screws work well with MDF trim?

IF the MDF is "tight-grained", I would think so. I have not used it with anything but solid wood.

I have used the Kreg screws and other screws from another supplier. They work well. McFeeley's sells the same type.

I feel you can in use a standard screw with a shoulder but of course the kreg screw works best. The whole is designed to use a screw with a flat head. I am not sure how you will save by using an over the counter screw.

I highly recommend the kreg jig screws. They're self tapping and hold extremely well while not splitting the wood. Regular screws would not work as well do to the fact that the kreg jig only drills an initial hole and nothing into the second board. They are also well priced through amazon.

I believe the screws that come with Kreg are specifically designed for this type of joinery. They have a very corse thread. It may be possible to use other screws that have a similar shape and thread pitch, but I wouldn't use wood screws myself.

Hi, I was able to use the stock screws but I couldn't use the lock washers the Rubber grips are thicker so the stock screws are just a little to short to use the washers. So far they haven't loosened while shooting so it seems OK.

The answer is No! You may not be familiar with how the Kreg Jig systems works. Once you align the next board with the desired spacing, you run the Kreg Jig down the *outside* edge fastening screws at each joist. Then, you invert the Jig direction and run down the *inside* edge (between two boards) - again fastening screws at each joist. However, with spacing of only 1/8" inch, there will not be enough room to insert the Jig between boards. Also note that using spacing of 1/8" means leaves, twigs and debris will get caught between your surface boards and the clogged gaps will not drain properly. The answer is No!

It will not; the BD tables have openings of 8 1/4 x 11 3/4, the Kreg lift is 9 1/4 x 11 3/4. If you like the Kreg, check out the Woodpeckers - they're pretty much identical, but WP has a Benchdog model (PRL-V2BD). I have one; pay attention to what the critics say about this lift's adjustment shortcomings. :)

I am sure you could but don't know for sure pocket hole screws should be same diameter so you should be able to use kregs

I am using the sled on a Ryobi table. I can not provide any info regarding compatibility with the Kreg system. I would suggest calling the sled manufacture. The sled works very well for us...

I think you are talking about the the Kreg HD bit and collar(as it is the only other size bit/collar in the kreg system) if so the answer is NO the HD system uses a 1/2" bit & #14 screws, too large for this guide.... it will not fit

Having used the Kreg system, I am sold on both the fixture and the screws that are specially designed to be used with the system. While other screws would work fine, the Kreg screws are designed to work at the right thickness of the wood with which you are working and also for either hard woods or soft woods. If I didn't have a Kreg screw, I would use what I had available that was the right length and strength but I would still order up a new batch of Kreg screws because they make the work easier and more reliable. Best of luck, John

Basically, Yes! The Kreg Deck Jig System comes with a special stepped drill bit which is set to "stop" at a certain depth. The diameter and stop-height have been determined for their screws. The system worked very well for me. I would not risk the joint strength by saving a few dollars on screws.

I do not know...I assume it would since it's the same manufacturer...best to contact Kreg.

It would certainly drill into the MDF, but it wouldn't be as strong of a joint as if you were using plywood.

All Kreg pocket hole screws will work and some other suppliers of pocket hole screws will work also but have found their hardness is less than those from Kreg.Depending on the job select the correct length and thread count(depending on hard/soft wood)I have had mine for over 3 yrs and have gone through hundreds of screws as I have even found uses for them in other applications.

My kreg table has adjustment screws (for height of plate vs surrounding table) underneath. I still used them for this Incra router lift. Didn't use the router lift adj screws, as they weren't located where they needed to be for the kreg table.
