Do you set the depth guide to the drilling board, or the receiving board? They may differ in thickness. Thanks!

Kreg has a very nice online video that shows all aspects of screw selection, including how to determine the correct length to use. Here is the page with the video: https://www.kregtool.com/store/c20/kreg-jigreg-screws/#tab1711

Per Kreg K-5 Manual "...For a strong joint, the screw should exit at the center of the workpiece".So, the answer to your question is: the drilling board.Obviously, when the 'receiving' board is much thicker or thinner, one must use judgment in screw length selection.For this reason this Manual continues with a TIPS section, recommending that one tests the proposed joint on (identical) scrap pieces.

There is a depth stop but have never used it. Seems to me though that you would have to put a spacer block between what you're grooving and the back fence to get a uniform depth all the way across the grooved board since the deepest part of the cut is at the centerline of the blade. Hope that helps, if I did it that way I'd use a small router plane (Stanley #71) to make it uniform.

There is no depth setting but you should be able to drive the staple further by setting your compressor setting to a higher level. I believe I used 100 compression level. I'd test the compressor settings on a scrap piece of flooring to gauge the appropriate depth.

I use this router almost exclusively with a 1 5/8" core box bit, and in hard woods make 3 passes for the depth I need. In softer wodd, i can get by with 1 pass. I would guess that you could use the panel bit - it is pretty powerful, esp. for the price.

It's been almost a year since installing this, but I think the drill-bit size is provided in the instructions. I don't recall having any questions about that when installing it.

If you remove debris from the core of the drill as you go, you can drill the depth of the bit plus the extension, about a foot as I recall. I bored through an 8" thick concrete block wall with no problems by periodically pulling back the bit and cleaning it out. Use a steady trickle of water and a powerful drill for best results, also keep the speed down. Hope this helps.

I had no instructions. I uses some scrap wood and adjusted the drill setting until I had what I wanted. You may be able to find some information from the manufacturer on line.

Yes All you have to do is lock the plunge slides and then set your bit depth accordingly.

I've used just a few times so far, so I am no expert. However I've found this jig easy to use. You set the depth with the adjustable collar, just clamp in place with a c clamp and drill. The key is to test on scrap wood first to make sure you're getting the proper depth adjustment needed. Hope this helps.

Try the [ 0.5mm] for awhile, if it works stay with it.Should you need more penetration depth, try the [1.0mm] .

I have used mine a lot. The only difficulty I have had is on small surfaces that don't have enough flat area for the guide. Even then it is better than nothing. I usually insert the drill through the proper hole, line the bit up on my mark and then lower the guide flat on the work piece surface. Much better than freehand.

I have found that you need to use the exact transducer, as I had bought this one and not for the same one I had, and the bottom depth pick up is terrible!

Mine has a lot of torque and a poor trigger. You pretty much get all or nothing which is OK for drilling but not so good where controlled power delivery is needed.

Sorry, I have no way to measure thickness. Try contacting the manufacturer and/or distributer.

I'm used a drill bit that came in a Dewalt drill bit set...nothing unusual. Perhaps you have different screws.Sorry can't help you more.

one trick that I learned from my father was to wrap electrical tape around the drill bit at the desired depth that you want the hole to be. Make the tape thick enough that it stops the drill.

depends how hard the soil is and powerful your drill is?If your soil is soft and you're using and electric drill with a 1/2"chuck it will go as deep as the the lenght if the bit.
