Hi folks.
Just practicing with pocket holes (in preparation for making some cabinets for wardrobes). Using the Trend system.
Two questions:
1. Why does my wood split (see picture)? Am I simply drilling too far in, is it the screws, wood itself, or set up that's causing the issue?
2. When I feel I've drilled the screws in far enough, it seems to push the wood a mm or two past the edge of the piece I'm attaching it to.
Any advice much appreciated! The system seems to work really well in everyone's videos on YouTube!
