1 Cut plug blanks 3¼" [83mm] long (measured with the grain for
long-grain plugs) or 3¼" [83mm] wide (measured across the grain
for cross-grain plugs). For best results, make the blanks from
leftover scraps of the wood used for your project, or from
wood with a similar color and grain pattern (see Tips).
ATTENTION
are much more likely to chip out than long-grain plugs. It is
possible to make good cross-grain plugs, but the reject rate will
be greater than for long-grain plugs.
2 Clamp a plug blank into the jig with the grain oriented in the desired
direction. The blank must sit flat against the guide block, so remove
any debris from a previous drilling operation. When using a Kreg
Jig K5 base, adjust the clamping pressure to three clicks of the
®
clamping mechanism. When using a K3 or K4 base, advance
the toggle clamp to the full-clamped position. Place your workpiece
against the drill guide, loosen the jam nut on the clamp-pad shaft,
and finger-tighten the clamp pad against the workpiece. Unclamp
the toggle and advance the clamp pad 1½ to 2 turns.
