Hello Lorenzo,You would want 1-1/4" screws to connect two pieces at the 3/4" jig setting. Hope that helps.

1-1/4" works well in 3/4" stock. You would only use a different screw if the wood you are screwing into is more or less than 3/4". Coarse threads for soft woods, fine threads for hardwoods, although many woodworkers use coarse threaded pocket screws for both types of wood, I hear.

1-1/4 screw, 6 to 8 inches center to center. Use course or fine threads depending on quality of plywood-use course thread if quality is questionable.

I built a shelf unit for dog treats and their leashes this past weekend using the Kreg Jig using 3/4" boards and 1-1/4" coarse thread screws that fit perfectly

The system is designed to be virtually invisible. If you use standard screws that would defeat the purpose of the Kreg system. Since all the screws are driven at an angle you need not worry about them pulling loose!

No, regular Kreg screws won't work. Smaller drill bit, smaller holes, smaller screws for smaller projects. Glad to see your interest in the Kreg units. I helped my son build my new kitchen cabinets and cupboards using the Kreg system. I purchased the micro unit for him, on request, for a Christmas present. He likes to work on small projects and the smaller size works great.

The Connections are 1/4 Inch or Neutrik. Neutrik will give a better connection, But either will work

Hello. Well the screw is about 1 inch long so i would say you need at least 1in thickness, but i would make it 1.5in thick to be on the safe side. Hope this helps.

I don't see why you couldn't use wood screws. I like the kreg screws though, they are very sharp and the square bit drive prevents the slippage. If you insist on wood screws, before you choose the right thread; coarse or fine, and the right length.

I ran into the same problem. No one seems to have posted an answer online, so I had to go trial and error. M4-.70x12 machine screws fit. I'd also recommend 4 M4 locking washers and 4 more flat washers (a little bigger to make sure it grips the bracket). You should be able to find it all at a local hardware store.

All Kreg pocket hole screws will work and some other suppliers of pocket hole screws will work also but have found their hardness is less than those from Kreg.Depending on the job select the correct length and thread count(depending on hard/soft wood)I have had mine for over 3 yrs and have gone through hundreds of screws as I have even found uses for them in other applications.

Are you thinking of trying to purchase the hardware from the manufacture? Yes. It's worth a shot to try. If not I'm sure u could go to the store and buy some that r the right size. Let me know what u want to do and I can send u a pic of the screw /size just need an email or text it to ya.

You will need 4 ea. 3/4 in ply...(I used Oak), 2 sheets of 1/4 in ply, in solid wood( poplar,pine, maple etc.) 3/4 x 1 1/2 in about 75 linear ft. You can do it with a good blade on circular saw with good straight edge. Kreg has one that hooks on to your saw for around $30.

I am not fluent in hardware speak, so I just took my screw to our local hardware store and told the man how much too long the screw was and he got me what I needed. Sorry I can't be more specific. I do love my cabinet handles!

I have tried to answer this question several times, but it keeps coming up. The 620 has a standard 1/4-inch threaded receptacle on the bottom. Any 1/4" screw should fit. Hope this helps.

I used 3/4" plywood for my wall and it works fine. Keep in mind the T-Nuts go into the wall making up for the depth of the plywood.

Kreg has a very nice online video that shows all aspects of screw selection, including how to determine the correct length to use. Here is the page with the video: https://www.kregtool.com/store/c20/kreg-jigreg-screws/#tab1711

Hardware store. I just used the proper size screw . I had some in my tool box.

you can use regular screws with the kreg jig, but the kreg screws have a sharpened point that facilitates burrowing into the second piece of wood to be joined (as the drilled hole does not extend into the second piece of wood). If you do use your own wood screws, I strongly suggest that you use square drive (as oppose to either phillips or slotted) screws, which provides for a much better interface between the screw head and the driver bit. Also, the R3 kit includes a long square drive bit.

I believe 3/4" is recommended but mine is on a 1/2" line and it works perfectly.
