How It Works Operation
The Kreg Deck Jig™ allows you to drill a specialized hole at
the optimum angle necessary to secure your deck boards
to the deck joists. The hole is created by a stepped (or
shouldered) drill bit that drills the pocket hole and screw pilot
hole in one simple motion. The depth of the hole is controlled
by a Stop Collar.
The Kreg Deck Jig™ also guides the deck screws so they
follow the exact path necessary for a strong connection, and
so you don’t over-drive or under-drive them. With the Drill
Guide aligned with the pilot hole, insert a screw into the Drill
Guide, ensure that the screw is correctly positioned to enter
the pilot hole, and drive it until the Driver Stop Collar contacts
the Drill Guide.
Place shoulder of bit at line.
Driving your screws without using
the Stop Collar and the Deck Jig™
can cause over-driving, which results
in a joint with signifi cantly reduced
strength and the potential for
excessive moisture build-up on the
screw head.
IMPORTANT!
Setting the Stop Collar on your Deck Jig™ Drill Bit & Driver Bit:
Non-Grooved Decking
Tip – Check your Stop Collar settings from time to time
to ensure they are still correctly positioned.
Stop Collars
Before drilling your fi rst hole, position the Stop Collars on both the drill bit and driver bit. The drill-bit Stop
Collar controls hole depth and where the hole “shoulder” stops the screw. The driver-bit Stop Collar prevents
over-driving the screws and ensures that they are driven to the proper depth for the strongest possible joint and
minimum exposure to the elements.
Drill Bit
For non-grooved decking from 3/4” to 1-1/2” thick
fastened with 2” or 2-5/8” long deck screws, use the
recessed Drill Bit Setting Gauge built into the Deck
Jig™. Secure the Stop Collar with the included
Allen wrench. Driver Bit
For non-grooved decking from 3/4” to 1-1/2” thick
fastened with 2” or 2-5/8” long deck screws, use
the recessed Driver Bit Setting Gauge built into
the Deck Jig™. Secure the Stop Collar with the
included Allen wrench.
