Hi, I am not understanding? My Kreg jig has a measurement for one half inch...so why do I need this?

Given that this is a micro jig, this is more for a hobby application. This was a requested Christmas present for my son. He is working in a machine shop so enjoys building things. His hobby is working on "N" scale train layout buildings. Of course they are too small to need the use of the micro jig, but you can understand he works on smaller projects, hence using a better scaled tool.

You can use the standard Kreg jig for 1/2 inch material but the bit removes so much wood that it leaves a fairly weak joint the micro with a smaller bit removes less wood leaves behind a stronger joint also even on three-quarter inch or larger material the micro leaves a smaller hole and can get into smaller spaces so if you're going to fill in the holes to make them disappear it's easier with the micro you're ending up with a smaller hole so it's easier to hide

The spindle size is I think metric that's not what is important they have adapters that go over the spindle to accommodate a 1 inch diameter hole in the grinding wheel it's also necessary to have that adapter to space the wheel away from the body of the grinder and centered in the cowling. Don't lose one of the spacers they cost $100 each to replace.

First of all, this jig drills 1/4 holes and it requires 1/4 shelf pins not 5 mm shelf pins. Secondly this jigs comes with a pin that allows you to move the jig up or down so you can continue the shelf pins holes at the same spacing and position. What you are trying to do sounds a little risky since you are starting with someone else's spacing and work. I love my jig, but I use it for my own work and I do not try to use it as an addition to somebody else's work.

I've found that generally whatever the loom size says, it's usually the outer diameter. I can't check at the moment what the actual outer diameter of the 1/2" loom is, but I'd recommend that you go 1 size higher. So for 1/2" loom, you would want to get 5/8" clamps.

I use a .456 spacer when I need 37 mm spacing. Stock the Kreg only will do 1" and 2" spacing from the edge. I love mine. Its very accurate when you use the indexing pin.

1/2" is going to be tough. 1" is doable. (We use it for tile and love it. We snap lines on all our floors and this makes squaring so much easier. No need to snap a primary line to check room squareness, just use the laser...) Hope this helps.

I used this cutting board for woodworking jigs. So I had to cut it into smaller pieces. It is a full 1/2".

the depth is one inch. If one inch is more than one half the cylinder { maybe}

it comes with a few of several commonly used sizes... a sampling. But for any significant project you will need more of whatever size. You can order the Kreg screws on Amazon... or just wait and drill a couple of pilot holes in scraps to get the hang of your jig and the your particular project... including the required screw size and length for what you are doing... then get screws (cheaper) at the big box stores. I recommend the later course... make sure the right size and get them less expensive... using the sampling to compare for local screw sizing. It is a great jig... screws are good but pricy... other wood/deck screws fine for most projects. Hope that helps.

Don't know about that. Do know that the design of the jig allows a lot of play. It's about impossible to drill the holes in the correct location. I ended up not using it and did the job on a friends mill. Save your money and go to a gunsmith to have the job done

the jig is about an inch deep - standard bits work fine. The small diameter bits (which are shorter) will drill to about 2" of depth.

I just put the micrometer on some of the cleanest castings that I had sitting around. I was quite surprised to find that they are not round. The smallest dimension on most of them is .356 and the largest varies between .357 and .358. I assume that this out of round condition goes away they are put through a sizing die. All the measurements were made at the base.

I'm sorry, but I am a bit confused by "little round hole on the side". I'm guessing you're referring to the measuring site guide which should have a plastic viewer with a red line that references the built-in ruler and provides the measurement between the blade and fence (if adjusted correctly). There are elongated holes on the flat side of the fence for the resaw attachments (but they're not little) and then there are two small round holes to access the screws that bind the fence to the sliding/locking piece. If you are missing the plastic disc, I suggest you contact Amazon for an exchange or alternately Rikon at (877)884-5167. I'm sorry, but I am a bit confused by "little round hole on the side".

The jig will open to 2.25 inch. And no, it can not be retrofitted to go any wider as 2.25 is max. But since you have to go 1.50 inch, don't see a problem

Hello Lorenzo,You would want 1-1/4" screws to connect two pieces at the 3/4" jig setting. Hope that helps.

The 5.2 x 2.9 x 0.2 is definitely garbage information. A round item is the same in two directions (diameter) and only different in the length! A non technical person posted the info and I wouldn't have a clue as to how they came up with their measurements. The 0.2 (.050 under 1/4") could be the thickness of the outer 'ring' but that dimension would be irrelevant to what is needed when purchasing.

It is very simple, just follow instructions. But you must have a 12 inch miter saw, it does not tell you that when you buy the jig. I bought the crown-pro, but can't use it, since I have only a 10 inch miter saw.
