Q&A

can i purchase the support wing parts that come with the 720 pro, if i have already purchased the base 720

We have those included in the Docking Station ACS750.

Hello can I get this in Canada using can $$ or can I get this from you and shipped to my home

At this time, our website is not set up to ship outside the US. We can ship to Canada but you will need to give us a call at 800-447-8638 M-F 8-5 CST. For your information, there will be a $30 brokerage fee added to every order as well as shipping which will be calculated at time of order. With shipping cost so high, it is usually best to find a local dealer to purchase from. You can find that at the link below. The larger three dealers are Lee Valley, Busy Bee or Amazon.

what is the difference between the 720 and the 720 Pro

The 720 is just the Jig and bits while the 720PRO will include the support and storage wings

Can this jig 720 help in fastening picture frames that are at least 1/2"thick?

Yes, you can use this with 1/2" thick lumber

I’m looking for a replacement standard drill guide adaptor for the 720, but cannot seem to locate anything other than the micro or plug guide kits. Is that something available to purchase separately?

To get any replacement parts, please contact our Tech Team at technicalsupport@kregtool.com or by phone at 800-447-8638 M-F 8-5 CST.

Your plans for the Concrete Paver Outdoor Side Table lists the Kerg 720 tool for drilling the pilot holes but the wood thickness on the plans is 2”. I have cut all the wood parts and have the 720 jig but how do I adjust it to fit the 2” thick boards?

The 2x2 boards will actually measure 1-1/2" thick. So they will work with the 1-1/2" settings on the 720 jig.

I bought the 720 but after watching the videos it appears as if this is meant for shorter board stock - do you have any how to videos on how to use this with let's say 2 x 4 x 8's or 2 x 6 x 8's ?

For longer boards, you lay the jig on its back and use wings as support, then you can drill those longer boards laying down instead of standing up.

Hi, first off, I love your tools. Thank you for making them! I got the 720 and I’m trying to create pockets on 2x4s, on the 4-side. No matter what I do, I can’t get the hole to be close to the edge. I know I’m supposed to use 1.5” screws, but they don’t seem to be long enough. You guys say 1.5 thickness is the max, which is the shorter side of the 2x4. Any help would be appreciated.

When working with 2x material, you will want to be using a 2-1/2" screw.

I believe there is a micro jig that will work with the 720 jig. Where can I find that part and how does it install?

We do have a Micro Guide for the 720 Jig. Here is the link. To switch out the Guide, you will push the two grey button on the clamp head and the guide will slide off. Then you will just replace the standard guide with the Micro Guide. https://www.kregtool.com/shop/pocket-hole-joinery/jig-system-components/kreg-micro-pocket-drill-guide-kit-730/KPHA730.html

When I drill, I see black plastic chips coming from the drill guides. Is my drill guide defective, or being worn down as I drill?

When drilling pocket holes with the Pocket-Hole Jig 720/720PRO, you may notice black plastic chips mixed in with the sawdust—especially when the jig is new. This is normal, and part of the jig’s design. The drill guide is made with long, hardened-steel drill guides that are molded into the black polymer drill-guide body. The holes in the polymer portion are purposely made slightly smaller than the diameter of the bit. As you drill, the bit will remove small amounts of the plastic to create a zero-clearance opening that reduces tearout on the wood surface as you drill. The quantity of chips will decrease as you use the jig more. The drill guide is designed to drill thousands of pocket holes, and is covered by a lifetime warranty.
