Portable Base
Use this base for large panels or assemblies that would be
difficult to clamp into a bench-mounted jig. Remove the drill
guide from the drill-guide socket and slide it into the portable
base. Align the mark on the side of the drill guide that
matches the thickness of the workpiece with the top edge
of the portable base. Screw in the locking pin. The base
also accepts Micro and HD drill guide blocks. Built-in cams
secure the portable base to a Kreg face clamp.
To position a pocket screw close to the miter “toe” on
a wide workpiece or to position a second pocket screw
on a narrow workpiece and still have the hole entirely
on the face of the part, drill the pocket hole closest
to the miter heel with the drill guide in the drill guide
socket. Remove the guide from the socket. For ¾"
(19mm)-thick stock, attach a spacer block to the drill
guide. Position the drill guide with the spacer-block end
1½" (38mm) from the miter toe, and then angle the drill
guide away from the toe at a 30-degree angle. Clamp
the drill guide in place and drill the pocket hole.

You also can drill one pocket hole on each side of a
miter joint rather than drilling both holes on the same
side.
For boards at least 3" (76mm) wide, pocket holes
drilled with the “A” and “C” guides both fit entirely on
the face of the board. In this situation, simply position
the mitered workpiece on the jig, clamp it in place,
and drill.
