Good morning,
I am attempting to use a pocket hole jig for the first time to put together a workbench in my garage. I'm working with 38mm CLS and picked up this jig from Amazon.
I believe I've followed the instructions, in the first photo below you can see I've positioned the slider to align with the 38mm marking and it also shows I've secured the drill bit collar so that the step on the drill aligns also with the 38mm marking on the depth gauge.
My issue is that the drill bit is stopping about 20mm from the end of the timber. I've tried to capture this in the second photo.
I confess I didn't follow the instructions to begin with, but after reading them this appears to be exactly what they ask you do to. Am I missing something?
Thanks in advance for any advice.
