Troubleshooting
Drill bit depth is inconsistent.
Ensure the stop collar is securely tightened on the drill bit. Verify the material thickness gauge is correctly set and the drill bit is seated properly against the collar.
Jig slides during drilling.
Use a clamp to firmly secure the jig to the workpiece. Ensure the anti-slip base is clean and making full contact with the wood surface.
Pocket holes are not clean or are oversized.
Check that the correct drill bit is being used and that it is spinning at the recommended speed (typically lower RPMs for hardwoods). Ensure the drill bit depth is set correctly and not too deep.
Difficulty adjusting for different wood thicknesses.
Refer to the engraved markings on the drill bit and the material thickness gauge. Ensure the stop collar is loosened before making adjustments and re-tightened securely afterward.
