do you have to use gregg screws with their jig?

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.

It works best with them. The heads are smaller than a typical deck screw and the drills are sized for them. I am unaware of other manufacturers with the same screw configuration, but they may exist

Don't know the answer to the specific question you are asking, but I have the Nova live center and it comes with a screw center which would allow you to securely attach a jam chuck to the tailstock without using the spindle tap. I do have the spindle tap and it is a good product, but I think there are other ways of doing what you want to do.

I would use the bit they provide- the bearings ride along the jig to guide the bit, so they need to ride exactly along the jig. This is not the highest quality jig, but its a great deal for the price, but i wouldn't mix-and-match anything

there are other screws that you can use. I've seen torx head screws, but the important thing is that they have a flat bottom. Woodcraft and Rockler may have what your looking for.

No, all you need is a flat head screwdriver and the whole operation takes less than five minutes! If you have larger than normal hands or suffer from arthritis, you will love these grips. PS. great choice of firearm - love my sigs!

No. I just peeled and stuck it on. Didn't mess with screws. If it would be actual stainless steel then I would use screws.

Not this one. If you do the threads will be worn and not accept the guide bushings. The same maker has a jig with dedicated non adjustable bushings.

No, this is a finish nailer. I would use screws whenever possible as nails always back out

i used them for a table leg and just turned the round foot and locked the nut to the leg.no need for the screwdriver

The ones I have are combo style allowing you to use either a flathead or Phillips screwdriver. I used a socket driver with a cordless screwdriver to install mine; 1/4" socket I believe. That way I could apply some pressure and the screws would self-tap into the wood w/o having to drill a pilot hole.

No, but you can use your existing screws. You don't need to buy any new ones.

You do need to use the Kreg screws. Their design length and strength are integral to the system. Using a standard wood screw could easily split the work piece.

No nut is needed but make sure you use the 1/4" npt tap and some silicone around the threads.

Hello Lorenzo,You would want 1-1/4" screws to connect two pieces at the 3/4" jig setting. Hope that helps.

Yes! They give you an Allen wrench though. I put a bit on one of my screw drivers and it was a lot easier to do. Once I figured that out it took almost no time to get the rest together.

The jig is just fine. The bits are crap! Pot metal and strip out with little torque applied. Get good bits and it'll be just fine.

Yes, that is exactly how I used it. The nut had a larger diameter than the original nut so some filing or dremel work may be necessary on the new forend.
