How to Use
Set up your pocket hole jig according to the timber thickness and drill the pocket holes as recommended by the jig manufacturer.
Choose the 2½" (63mm) screws for thicker material combinations where a deeper bite is needed.
Position the workpieces, clamp firmly so the joint does not move, and align the pocket hole.
Drive the screw using a suitable square/Phillips/torx bit (as appropriate) until the washer head pulls the joint faces tightly together.
Avoid over-driving to prevent stripping the thread in softer materials; let the coarse thread do the work.
