Drilling the workpiece
The Join-A-Jig
™
Step Drill Bit drills a flat-bottomed pocket hole and the
stepped tip drills down further to create a pilot hole for the Join-A-Jig
™
Screws .
To drill pocket and pilot holes in the workpiece, secure the Step Drill Bit in
your drill and then drill the holes using the Drill Guide .
Placing pocket holes
When planning where to place the pocket holes keep these rules in mind .
1 .
All workpieces require at least two screws along any one side to stop
them from twisting .
2 . Allow at least 65mm of facing material to drill the pocket hole . Anything
less and the Step Drill Bit will cut into the top edge of the workpiece as
well as the facing side .
3 . Drill a pocket hole at each end of the workpiece and add further holes
to add strength where necessary .
4 . Positioning screws in areas where more than two workpieces meet
requires careful planning. Mark out the pocket-hole positions before
drilling .
