Review on Milescraft PocketJig200XCJ Pocket Bundle Clamp by Brent Webb

Revainrating 5 out of 5

So happy Kreg R3 was delayed!

I needed a new portable hole gauge ASAP for an ongoing desktop project at my local steakhouse. I was about to buy a new R3 Crag Kit. They're not available, so I had to improvise. I have ventured this Milescraft kit and am very impressed. The plastic appears to be heavier than the reinforced glass-filled type compared to the abs that Kreg appears to be using. The board thickness limiter/adjuster, reversible track, clamp magnet and drill depth adjuster are excellent in this jig. The only drawback for me is the lack of chip evacuation and the use of torx bits instead of square bits (counter-hole torx screws are much more difficult to access). In practice, however, you'll be moving the reshuffling tool after each hole, so be sure to blow it out, and the long square bits aren't hard to come by, so I'll add a few to the case. save your money Get a better mount that also includes a 2" face clip, the equivalent of a mini creg, and a small quick release bit holder. Very impressed, thanks to everyone who bought Cregs!
