do you think I could use with 1/8 inch board spacing?

Absolutely. The Kreg Deck Jig is great for building decks and hiding the screws. I would recommend using some scrap first to get the hang of installing the deck boards. That way when you actually start on the deck proper you will have the technique down pat.

The answer is No! You may not be familiar with how the Kreg Jig systems works. Once you align the next board with the desired spacing, you run the Kreg Jig down the *outside* edge fastening screws at each joist. Then, you invert the Jig direction and run down the *inside* edge (between two boards) - again fastening screws at each joist. However, with spacing of only 1/8" inch, there will not be enough room to insert the Jig between boards. Also note that using spacing of 1/8" means leaves, twigs and debris will get caught between your surface boards and the clogged gaps will not drain properly. The answer is No!

No way... the 1/4 spacing is already pretty tight. You need some room to pre-drill and than screw the board in a 45 degrees angle. If it's too tight the drill bit or screw bit will mark the opposite board. Anyway, 1/4 is already pretty close, remember you need to leave a reasonable gap so the timber can expand/contract. My deck I used the 5/16 and 1/4 spacers so I was able to adjust the total length by tinny bits... Cheers.

Inch boards are about as far as I want go with this. Nice little saw, it would probably cut more thickness but would be slow. I use a band saw for thick stuff.

You should be able to do it. make sure the back of the case is lined up before trying to screw the board in. This is a normal issue.

That's not how I'm using it, but I don't see why not. Only thing, since the board comes with a light gloss finish, I'd sand it off, cut your grooves, and then keep it well oiled.

I just installed a 7 panel in a 8 deep(camper to edge of deck) x 12 long space(length of camper). I don't see how an 8 could work unless I am missing something. If you are 12 wide there is no way an 8 would work, it would be too wide.

If I was you I'd try to get a smaller board width so tricks come easier a wider board means the more power you need to use

I'm not sure as I don't use it for that. The holes are exactly 1/8th of an inch.

My board is 14x15 and it works perfectly. Your board should fit just as well. It's very adaptable where you place the screws.

If you installed whatever hangboard you're going to use high enough, I think you could probably fit a pulley kit on there, the clearance between the top of the wood board and the lowest row of bolts is about 15"

I don't know why not, except that the two round boards may need to be thick enough (1"?) to be screwed into.

The Fasteners 18 gauge do not have much holding power. If you are building a 5/8" thick board nailed to a 2x4 I do not believe that will work. This tool is better suited for light mouldings and trim work.

I use poster boards. You can fit hardboard poster board in this. It is between 1/4" to 1/2" of room.

Just measured mine. I can slide two 1/4" boards behind it with a little wiggle room. Probably 9/16 at the most but I would call it 1/2" to be on the safe side. Hope this helps. Larry

Would be possible but the bolts would be very close to the edge of the boards and may break out. We used 2x10 boards.

That's a pretty small profile on 1/4 tape, but I have used 1/2 in with no problem. It saves so much time I would give ita shot, good luck.

7/8" will be perfect - (1 inch would work, but will leave a lot more space around the beer shank than you might want.)

Probably not. It is more set to screw into a flat surface. I use the board without it being screwed down. It is a nice board. Especially for the price.
