JimboS1ice Posted December 31, 2015 Report Share Posted December 31, 2015 So I got a kreg Jr. For christmas and started using it yesterday. I got the Automax clamp as that was recommended by kruton. Just have to say that this clamp is hands down the best clamp out there. Makes working with the jig so easy, they are a little costly I got this 3 inch for 20 last week the price popped up but this thing is awesome. You could use it even if you don't have a kreg jig.I know comp has spoken very highly of this clamp as well, if you need a good clamp give this one a look!Kreg KHC-1410 Automaxx 3-Inch Face Clamp https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00D3IQLWW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awd_UerHwbX9N79XPJimboSent from my iPad using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The.Handyman Posted December 31, 2015 Report Share Posted December 31, 2015 They have the 3" and 6" reach Automaxx clamps at my local Lowe's at a good clearance price ($5-$7 off the website price of $29.99). Bought 2 recently. Love these things. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigmikez Posted December 31, 2015 Report Share Posted December 31, 2015 I'm hoping to get the k4 in the near future Jimbo so I will definitely have to pick one of these up also. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rrich1 Posted December 31, 2015 Report Share Posted December 31, 2015 I'm hoping to get the k4 in the near future Jimbo so I will definitely have to pick one of these up also. Thanks!Check out the Porter cable pocket hole jig. Looks to be much better than the kreg. I have a k4 and like the look of the pc a lot.

comp56 Posted December 31, 2015 Report Share Posted December 31, 2015 I like the portability of the k3 slap that anywhere and go so small.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rrich1 Posted December 31, 2015 Report Share Posted December 31, 2015 Are you talking about this one rrich?Ya. Workshop addict did a review on YouTube. If you want to stay with kreg I'd opt for the k5 as it has a few upgrades over the k4. Nothing wrong with the kreg as my k4 has done what I need it to do.

Millerzconstruction Posted January 7, 2016 Report Share Posted January 7, 2016 https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B004ADJQTO/ref=aw_wl_ov_dp_1_6?colid=22E195IVQKRJO&coliid=I2ZVWTR72C50N9This one is awesome. I was trying to think of who made it. But if you are wanting a pocket hole jig. This is it. Works much better than the kreg. And it's an even higth to the table. If you need extensions to hold wide or long materials. And you don't need to move the collar on the bit. Just well thoght out. But they don't advertise it at all.

comp56 Posted January 7, 2016 Report Share Posted January 7, 2016 why much better the the kreg? my kreg works like a charm..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisK Posted January 7, 2016 Report Share Posted January 7, 2016 I have heard a LOT of positives about the PC but have not used it. I love my Kreg, it suits me just fine and for the money out it was a no brainier at the time. And I'd agree with Rich that the K5 is definitely the cats meow of the different types of Kregs out there. I have the K4, I don't use it all the time but it's a great jig and in an effort to offer myself the benefits of the K5 I added a base with extensions to support material. I made mine out of OSB, sanded the edges and it works pretty well. If I were buying one for the first time the K4 is generally $99 and the K5 is $139, I'd probably spend the extra and go with the K5, mostly for the support and I have had mine for years so it doesn't have the DC hood which you really should have as the chips get in the way.

JimboS1ice Posted January 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2016 Yea I've heard good about PC but considering I have some kreg stuff which is awesome and the price of the PC I'll stick with my kreg.JimboSent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
