 kreg joints
I have a kreg jig and have made a few projects using it, these were not critical things, more a general use of the new toy. Then I started doing some face frames for a bathroom I'm redoing and this is where I noticed that a couple out of the 12 or so joints I did were less then wonderful.
It seems when the joint was screwed together the parts moved, maybe as much as a 1/32" but noticable. I had to either plane off the end grain or live with the joint so I did what had to be done. In one joint the face did not remain flat but twisted up, on that one I had to plug the screw holes and redo the joint.
Now the question, how are other clamping the joints? I was using spring clamps to a plywood workbench....... The problem seems to be at the time of screw entering the second part of the joint, maybe due to grain or ?.
