How do you adjust for different thickness stock using this jig?

I used a 4" C clamp for a while and got tired of that, so I went to Lowe's and bought a pair of adjustable locking pliers with discs on the ends instead of grooved lips.

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.

Yes, you loosen up the screw over the adjustment dial & adjust the tension setting. I found them to work great with the stock setting, the crimps come out nice, tight and secure.

I you use a tail stock MT2 that will make it dificult to turn the tap into a chucked work peice and a live center in the tail stock to hold the tap while turning it with a wrench works beat for me.

Not directly out of the box, it goes from 0-5" by default. There is an optional 2" riser block accessory that will give you 7" capacity. It seems to have zero effect on the stability and accuracy of mine when I am cutting into oversized stock.

I use a cresceent adjustàble wrench. It gives good leverage with one hand as you are pushing the tailstock with the other.

Yes, you can adjust the thickness to your liking. You can go from very thin to a quarter of an inch in thickness. Great product for many things & easy to use. :)

I'm sure it could. I've cut through 2 x 4 stock (which is 1 1/2" thick) many years ago with a very muchlower powered and lighter weight jig saw. Just go slowly, use a sharp blade, and let the saw do the workwithout forcing the cut.

Don't know about that. Do know that the design of the jig allows a lot of play. It's about impossible to drill the holes in the correct location. I ended up not using it and did the job on a friends mill. Save your money and go to a gunsmith to have the job done

I am unfamiliar with the Jessem Jig though from the product description Jessem Jig can work with a 4" piece of wood. Premium Doweling doesn't.

you have to drill a hole in the stock,make sure you get the same angle as the stock,its easy you can do it.

Set the jig for the actual wood dimension. If you set it for the stated depth, your pocket hole will be too deep and you will not get a secure joint.Hope this helps.

Yes you can make any size you want. The saw-jig is guided by a 2x6 or 2x4 that the jig rides along, and you position that guide board by screwing it down to your log so that your saw cuts off a slab at the thickness you want.

I usually heat my needles up to go from a tight 7RL to a 7RL loose Liner or tight 9RL to a 9RL loose Liner to get a boxier thick line and it works just fine. The armature bar / springs work fine for what it is, but I updated mine with better replacement parts as the frame was solid but it needed tuning for sure. If your machine isn't working with bigger size needles, you may need to adjust your front spring / contact to get a bigger or lesser throw. Try it out...

Yes. It comes with instructions on where to place the jig, depending on how thick the wood is.

Good question. The long stock is an issue on a table saw. The TV Shows have looked at a couple of options. Tommy Mac fabricated an extension that fit infront of the saw table. The problem is that the jig runs off the table with long stock. Scott (American Woodworking) rigged a bandsaw to work with the jig. Used a piece of cabinet grade plywood that was square to the blade and a fence that is typically used for cutting plywood with a hand-held power saw (skillsaw). He cut some long legs and cleaned the cuts with a jack plane. Your project would require some sort of table saw extension. It would be probably safer to do the task on a band saw and if you do all for faces, tape the wase pieces back to the leg.

A standard or bugle head screw would not work- it'd be too large to go through the opening, I think. And then it would show which would defeat the whole reason to use the jig. I've had a deck with these screws installed for 2.5 years now without screws loosening (redwood over treated framing).

Depends on what type of projects you are trying to accomplish. I have been a little disappointed in my kreg jig honestly. It is good for joining 1x dimensional lumber but not good in joining 1x to 2x or 2x to 2x. Id imagine if you went smaller than 1x, it would provide very little strength to joints. The master system gives you a few bells and whistles like the clamp but you're fine saving a few bucks and going with another if you wanted.
