 "pine plugs" 2009-08-10
By Walter C. Mickens Jr.
just what the wood doctor ordered for a hole that needed a plug in it.

 "Sure they're long, but do they work?" 2009-07-30
By rwizard (USA)
Yes, they work, and as Kreg warns you, they are cut a little long. But then, maybe that gives you an excuse to buy that nifty Japanese flush cut saw you keep fondling at the local wood working store ?

 "Gives ya that nice purdy professional look." 2008-12-20
By koboilila (massachusetts)
No, Kreg did not invent the pocket hole jig, but they sure made it easily availble to the masses.



A pocket hole jig is a great addition to any shop and to make it even better Kreg has these little plugs to easily fill your holes when you're done.



I recall that the last time I was reading the reviews there were those who were crying that the plugs were too long; said that they had to speng forever sanding them down after they were glued in place.



The kind folks at Kreg did that on purpose fellas - one size fits all. Most home handy man types are probrobly using basic 3/4 inch stock but the pocket hole jig is great for a variety of thickness materials and thes plugs are made to use with thick and thin stock.



For 3/4 inch material I either set my small chop saw to about 30 degrees (putting a piece of scrapwood against the backing to hold the plug steady against) and lop off about a quarter of an inch off the fat end of the plug. If I am lazy or only need one or 2 plugs I just zip off a hunk quickly with my little band saw or scroll saw.



Put a little glue in the whole and slide the plug down till it is almost flush.



It dont get much easier than that.

Tap it in. Sand or file it flush and finish. Very handy to have around the shop.

 "Best for painted work" 2008-09-12
By New England Yankee (Northern New England)
I'm ambivalent about exposed, finished (plugged) pocket holes. Face it, they just aren't as attractive or decorative as, say, exposed dovetails. The fancied-up project you see in ads with contrasting color plugs doesn't improve things much, either.



Plugs DO work ... mostly. The basic problem is that the edge of a pocket hole is typically not very clean, so while the plug can be seated and glued in quite firmly, the effect at the edges still isn't pristine enough to my eyes to for finish quality. Other reviewers have commented on the large amount of protruding plug that has to be trimmed & sanded, which I wholeheartedly second.



I personally think the best use for pocket hole plugs is for painted work, where the plug can be made completely invisible.

 "Very Nice" 2009-05-12
By EKE (Illinois United States)
This is a very nice router table. The fence is a singe piece fence like a table saw. Very accurate. Do yourself a favor and purchase the micro-adjuster for the fence. This really lets you dial the fence in. I had a problem with the support screws vibrating out and allowing the insert to drop down. I cinched the hold down screws a little tighter and it hasn't done it again. If it does, I'll apply some loctite to the screws.

 "Excellent value for the money!" 2009-05-06
By Woodworker (TN)
I didn't buy this table from Amazon (due to the reviews above) but the product itself is so outstanding that I want to review it anyway, just to help others who are looking for a good product. I looked for a router table for quite a while, but made my decision right away when I saw this unit in a store. For starters, the frame, table and fence are very substantial, and this table would probably be right at home in any professional woodworking shop. I was a bit worried about the rigidity of the fence while assembling all the sub-components, but ended up with a sturdy and perfectly aligned assembly that works almost flawlessly. The micro adjuster is not really necessary, but for a measly $14 it's a very nice option as it eliminates the tedious "tap and check" routine. I also bought a Triton router to go with it, which eliminated the need for an expensive lift. I lucked out, and got the casters included for the same price as Woodcraft happened to have a special on them, and also added a paddle switch to go on the front. I have about $750 in the whole setup now, and it's worth every penny.



So what's not to like? Not much at all, but there are a few things that could have been done better for little or no money. One annoying thing is that the set screw for the ruler in the fence assembly sticks up a hair above the surface of the table, so the work piece rides on this until it clears the screw. It's easy enough to fix by shortening the screw though. Another thing that the nitpickers may not like is that the lock screw on the left side of the fence slides in a slot routed straight into the table. Some kind of rail or grommet would have made the screw slide much more smoothly, but I simply used some candle wax. I'm still not sure about how the phenolic router insert will hold up to the weight of the somewhat heavy 3 1/4 hp router, but an aluminum insert would have been nice, at least as an option. The Kreg guys may also consider offering table extensions (an outfeed extension would be especially nice), but they are easy enough to build yourself.



You can't build a table like this for the same money, and that was the deciding factor in my case. And if you have already decided to buy a complete table, you won't find anything better at this price. Add the Triton router, and you'll be ready to go!

 "Five stars for the product, Zero for Amazon" 2008-04-22
By Robert Cotton (Orlando FL)
Let me get the zero stars for Amazon out of the way first. To be fair, I have bought a bunch of stuff from Amazon - my first stop for shopping. I've only had to return one other item, and that return was handled perfectly, since I just dealt with their computer system. But this time, I had to deal with their customer service people.



I ordered this item, using the Amazon Prime free shipping program. It arrived right on time. There were three boxes in the shipment, one for the stand, one for the table top, and one for the fence. All three had obviously been dropped, presumably by UPS, on a corner. During assembly, it came to light that the table top was smashed on the corner where it was dropped. I contacted Amazon to return it, and the past 2-1/2 weeks has been a nightmare of really bad customer service. First of all, they sent me a UPS paid return label. For one box, not three. I sent an email and asked for them to fix that. They sent me another one, same deal. I then called customer service. Fast forwarding to today, of the five times i have spoken to the Amazon customer service, on only two of those times have I been able to understand the person on the other end of the phone. The rest of the time, it has been someone with a very heavy accent who mumbled.



On the first call, they told me to put the whole thing into one box and send it in a single shipment. I reminded them that it was unlikely that UPS would pick up a box that weighed in excess of 200 pounds. So they said that they would have UPS pick it up at my office. Except that they didn't tell UPS to do so. Call #3 got them to actually tell UPS to pick it up. At the wrong address, and only one box. Call #4 got cut off after waiting for 15 minutes to get transferred to a supervisor. Finally, on call #5, I talked to a very delightful lady who seemed to understand what needed to be done. We'll see -- they are supposed to pick it up tomorrow.



When the return process first began, they entered a new order for a replacement. It was scheduled to be shipped in June. I can't wait that long, so I told them to give me a refund. Sure hope I get it. In the meantime, I bought this router table at the local Woodcraft store. Paid more, but I have the table in my shop now.



Now about the Five stars rating for the product itself. This is a really great router table. I gave this review four stars, because Kreg was partly at fault for the damage mine received. If they had designed their packaging better, the damage probably wouldn't have happened. The padding in the box was a piece of styrofoam 1/4" thick and some corrugated cardboard. MDF is not that sturdy. It needs at least 2" of foam padding.



But the table itself is wonderful. The stand is built like an Abrams tank, and the table is a nice size. The fence works exactly like they say it does. Square and easy to use. So the product gets five starts, Kreg gets four stars, and Amazon gets zero stars for bad customer service.



Update 5/7/08: I've used the router table quite a bit now. It is still as great as I noted above. I've started to build cabinets and drawers in the stand below the table top, but find there's not a lot of room for that. The sawdust collection is pretty good above the table, but the floor quickly gets several inches deep in the stuff that falls through the opening in the top. Part of my cabinet plans below the table include a fix for that.



It is now about two weeks after I wrote the above review. Five additional contacts with Amazon just resulted in UPS going to the wrong address again to pick it up. But a conversation with the UPS guy at my office may have broken the stalemate. He said he'd be back this afternoon to pick it up. Grand total contacts with Amazon customer service are now in excess of ten, and the latest advice of the pickup says I may be charged for the return shipping costs. For a damaged item.

 "Kreg Router table" 2008-01-12
By David Conaway (Manassas, VA)
Sweet table! I'm not a master woodworker or great furniture maker, but this table is one of the greatest additions I've made to my shop in quite awhile. Smooth operation, easy to use and accurate. You won't be disappointed. The only item I'll add is a router lift.

 "Excellent Router Table for the money!" 2008-01-01
By D. Vo (San Jose, CA)
If you are a serious woodworker, this is by far THE best router table to buy. I bought the complete table, fence, stand, casters & micro-adjuster. Every little piece of hardware was accounted for and very neatly packaged. The reliability and accuracy of the fence make it very easy to use. And if you don't want to drill the insert yourself, for 3o bucks, Kreg will drill it for you, shipping included.



The assembly instructions were written in simple, easy-to-understand English and not like the 'Chinglish' from other manufacturers who outsourced their products. This router table examplifies American ingenuity & workmanship. It's definitely a 5-star rating.

 "Disappointing quality" 2009-07-30
By rwizard (USA)
This has been the least satisfactory of all my Kreg purchases. While not terrible, the molding of these parts was somewhat flawed, and I would class them as seconds which should not have made it past QC. Hopefully, your luck will be better.

Great item, one of those you scratch your head and say why did'nt I think of that. Like all Kreg products, top of the line.

 "Excellent idea for those full extension side mounted slides!" 2008-09-10
By George Gonzalez (Miami, FL)
Saves me time every time I install cabinets with full extension side-mounted drawer slides. Consistently perfect results. Not useful at all for any drawer slide that isn't side mounted.

I have the Kreg slide installer and since I was helping a friend buid a desk and cabinets, we needed these for file cabinets slides. These help but are not precise, you will neeed to fine tune the slides, great price and I like the prime. Use Kreg pocket jointery for my face frames, great product.

 "Not as easy as it looks" 2007-06-08
By Elk Hunter (PA)
Works good for drawers on the top of a base cabinet, but it is easier to use a spacer for multiple drawers w/o face frames.

The Kreg Magnetic Drawer Slide Mounting Tool simplifies the work of positioning your metallic slides to ensure smooth gliding drawer movement in cabinets. It uses the intersection of the cabinet stile and rail in face frame cabinets, and the cabinet side in frameless cabinets, as a reference point for positioning a slide perfectly parallel to the drawer opening. Simply place a metallic drawer slide into position on the base of the tool, which uses magnets to hold the slide in place, align the tool where the stile and rail meet, and drive the screws for a perfect alignment every time.

 "The Third Hand You Always Need" 2009-07-16
By Rustic Dave (Northern, ME)
Worked well with the bottom mount slides on a 20 drawer face frame built-in. Did need a little tweaking with the rear alignment, but that was because of my design. Magnets are strong and hold well. Did not get the Kreg clamp, almost any small clamp (C-clamp, quick grip, etc.) in your shop should work. Would recommend.

By George Gonzalez (Miami, FL)
Seems more like a jig to me, but whatever it is, it works! Consistently excellent results on side mounted slides. I use this with Kreg's drawer mounting brackets and I recommend getting them together. I've used this jig for undermount slides with some good results also. I can find a few more uses for it to hold metal brackets and other pieces square to a wooden or plastic workpiece in order to attach them.
