Can this jig help guide dowel holes on boards for a 90 degrees joint? The edge of one board to the face of another.

This would depend on the width of the board for the face drill. The jig expands up to over 1 inch, not sure exactly how wide. I am using it to dowel stiles to rails on plantation shutters and this jig is very well made and accurate. I stand the rail boards up on end with clamps and the stiles are on their side.

I know someone named Chip that lives in Woodbury, on xxxxtt lane; I used to live there. This jig is pretty accurate but i wouldn't use it for edge to face unless, like the other reviewer said, your board was small enough. However, that would leave your dowels smack in the middle of your flat board. Not always the requirement. You might be better off doing pocket holes into the face so long as you can either hide the holes, fill them or veneer over them. This jig is quite good though...

yes you can with a jig you make, go to this youtube video very informative www.youtube.com/watch?v=ht0Q5MmwWsM

Chip, I am trying to understand your question, because I see what you're asking can be understood in two different ways. If you're creating a cabinet face, (all wood is flat) then yes you can create a 90 deg angle. Now if you had a piece of wood flat on the floor and you were connecting a vertical board, then no this wouldn't work for you.Michael

The system is designed to angle the pocket screw hole between the boards. If you use the jig to install the boards, then the screws are accessible without removing adjacent boards. This is probably the only system, other than surface fasteners, that would allow the kind of repair you described.

I don't see why not, as long as there is something for the tang to grab. To insure a better grab, you could bend the tang to 90 degree.

You would have to be very,very careful not to break the spot weld at the top ring/handle joint. I don't think I would want 90 deg. It seems tat a lot of control would be lost.

Don't remember it coming with an edge guide. I haven't used it to make a clean 90 degree cut but if you're not coming from two outside edges I'd suspect it might be difficult. I would imagine you could make the 90 cut IF you cut the corner out to make the turn. It isn't a scroll saw but it is an excellent tool.

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!

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

Yes, but I'd try it first on some pieces of scrap to make sure you're getting exactly 45 deg. If not move it either way from the "45" on the angle calibration until you find it. I use it for custom cuts on HO scale railroad cars.

AS long as you can insert the "Pin-hole" locator into the top pin hole anjd make sure the side of the jig is 90 degree vertical you should have no problem using the jig - I used it to install shelving on 4 home-constructed bookcases, drilling 208 holes and it worked perfectly - saving me "Hours" of measuring and clamping time.

Yes Mark. It's quite possible. I have rip cut 18mm ply with this jig into 1" wide strips for a job. I have also cut prelaminated particle board with this. I have had no issues. But one thing when cutting small strips. Be careful about the position of the hands. You need to balance the jig and have the piece you are cutting, steady.

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).

The technically correct answer is "I don't know." My instinct is to say that it would be a bad idea: Each pass would be very narrow, requiring many, many passes, with very exacting readjustment of the jig each time. It's not really what the bit was designed for, so I'd worry about breaking, or at least using up the bit. I'd recommend you look into a purpose-made planing bit if possible.

As a person who works in lapidary I find this shaper/router table very handy to get a perfect 90 degree angle. I'm sure it would do the same in wood working. Only problem is that the excess that is sanded off falls down onto the dremel.

Only for very short material aligned perpendicular to rear fence, parallel to blade, restricted by length of slide arm. Saw head does not pivot to a 90 degree alignment with rear fence. A table saw or radial arm saw would be the appropriate tool. rm

Short answer: "yes". Long answer: It's adjustable. I sometimes use to to clamp wood when gluing; I also use it as a guide when routing and clamping to the piece. I've also used it to clamp two pieces of wood together, routed a dado for shelf support and since the two pieces are aligned, the dado is aligned. This is a really nice tool to have.

If you mean can this Kreg Rip Cut jig be used to cut rip cuts with the circular saw on an angle, then I think it could.

straighten out 90 degree bend or break off and drill a hole in parallel remaining base.
