Very Nice For Building Drawers

Comment:
I was forced to purchase the Micro Jig along with SPS-F075-500 0.75-Inch No.6 Fine Thread Screws when I discovered my Kreg SPS-C1-500 Pocket Hole Screws along with the Kreg K3MS K3 Master Pocket Hole Jig System would slightly poke through my 7/16" (not true 1/2") birch drawer frames. I will say the Mico Jig 100% solved the issues but Kreg could have resolved my situation by simply manufacturing 0.75-Inch course screws for the K3MS system instead of creating an entirely new system.
Kreg claims there wouldn't have been enough thread on a 0.75-Inch course screw to create enough catch on soft wood, which is not true. The required 5/8" depth setting on the Micro Jig drill bit lock collar, 5/8" by the K3MS jig deck guide, provides more than enough depth for a 0.75 course screw (if it existed) to catch. Also, a course screw would catch better on soft wood than the SPS-F075-500 fine threads. I have to use a torque setting of 2 on my dewalt drill in order not to strip the holes, which turns out perfect. But, Kreg is out to make money so viva capitalism! I just hate being "À la carte'd" on systems like this, still I like Kreg.
SIDE NOTE: I use "Can-Do" clamps to to hold my drawer sides tight together, add a few brads, then install my SPS-F075-500's. Word of warning about the "Can-Do" clamp (made in Taiwan) as the red paint tends to rub off slightly on the work piece during a hard clamp. Warm water and a rag fixes this but it's still annoying.

The easiest way to join wood. Super strong joints. This is a great addition to my K9 jig.
Comment:
I DON'T USE THE STANDARD JIG WHICH I GUESS ONE IS SUPPOSED TO USE WITH THIS DEVICE. I JUST CLAMP IT WITH LOCKING PLIERS. THIS DOES NOT SEEM SUFFICIENT IN MANY CASES. WHEN I SCREW THE SCREW IN WITH A POWER DRILL IT IS HARD TO DETERMINE WHEN TO STOP. SOMETIMES THE DRILL IS SO POWERFULL THAT IT JUST TEARS UP THE WOOD WITH THE SCREW. OTHER TIMES I DON'T GET THE FULL POWER OF THE SCREW BECAUSE I HAVEN'T HIT THE BOTTOM OF THE POCKET.
CLAMPING THE MATING PIECES SO THEY DON'T MOVE WHEN ONE SCREWS THE SCREW IN TO PULL THE PIECES TOGETHER IS ALSO A PROBLEM AND MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO GET A NICE MATING JOINT.

Having used the Kreg jig for some time and obtained great results, the micro will do a good job on drawers, etc.

This is well made and I can't wait to use it. Unfortunately you have to have the newer master set or equivalent to use it... The information given on some sites about this add on doesn't indicate you need the upgrade. It does work quite well however when you get the newer master set. Very precise.
