    new Kreg Micro jig?

    http://www.homedepot.com/p/Kreg-Micro-Pocket-Drill-Guide-KJMICRODGB/204615883


    homedepot.com was pushing this in its e-mail - a new Kreg Micro Jig (colored black to differentiate it)
    said to have 25% smaller screws to make smaller joints in 1/2" wood. Requires their 3/4" length pan head screw available only with fine thread.

    So I found it on Kreg's site using search, it's on the product list under Kreg Jig Accessories
    Micro-Pocket™ Drill Guide
    https://www.kregtool.com/store/c22/kreg-jigreg-accessories/p60/micro-pockettrade-drill-guide/
    Create More Compact Pocket Holes in the Same Kreg Joinery Applications With a 25% smaller hole diameter, the Micro-Pocket™ Drill Guide lets you create compact, low-profile pocket holes in the same Kreg Joinery applications where you'd use standard Kreg pocket holes, and in a variety of other applications, too. You also have the ability to tackle smaller projects, thinner stock, and tighter repairs where standard pocket holes simply can’t go. Choose Your Jig Compatible with the Kreg Pocket-Hole Jig K3, K4, K4MS, K5 and K5MS. Features black color to differentiate from the standard Kreg Drill Guide. Endless Applications A 25% smaller pocket hole works great in virtually every application where you’d use standard Kreg pocket holes. And because it removes less material, drill strokes are faster and easier. Perfect for 1/2" Stock Screw heads seat well below material surface in thin stock, making the Micro-Pocket™ Drill Guide perfect for creating fully-pluggable pocket holes in 1/2" (12mm) thick material like drawer boxes. Perfect for Narrow Stock Reduced width lets you drill two holes in extremely narrow stock, down to 1" wide, creating a much stronger joint in narrow pieces.

    Looks like it uses a 19/64" step drill bit. (instead of the standard 3/8")

    Apparently announced back in April 2014... almost looks like they're hiding it. maybe not selling?

    I guess it has limited use for just 1/2" material.

    If your only tool is a hammer, you tend to treat all problems as if they were nails.

      Bought one when they came out, via the Woodworking show. (dad picked up two when he went)
      The big push was to make inexpensive and easy drawers (what he was doing for shop cabinets), the other push on it, was more for crafts.
      Good to know that it can be found in stores now.

          I found their smaller size screws a few yrs ago but apparently they hadn't produced the small jig. I wanted a smaller screw thinking it wouldn't split the antique pine as bad. Didn't work, still split.
