Choosing the Correct 2-Hole Spacing
Spacing pocket holes across the width of a workpiece is important in maximizing the
strength of a joint. When framing most woodworking projects, it is recommended
to place two pocket holes across the width of a rail to keep the workpiece from
twisting once it has been assembled. The patented three-drill guide fixed spacing of
the Kreg Jig Drill Guide Block makes it extremely easy to place two pocket holes in
®
a workpiece without having to unclamp and move the workpiece to drill the second
hole. A real timesaver when working with a variety of wood widths. We recommend
using the drill guide spacings indicated below for each rail width. For very wide pieces
such as panels, we recommend placing a pocket hole every 6-8 inches across the
length of the panel. Use any of the three drill guides to form the pocket on panels.
