    Congrats Mike. They started treating me pretty crappy, so I never got mine that was promised last year about this time. They did send a prototype for me to use, but asked me not to do a video. A few months back I asked Anthony how things were going and he said they were still waiting. Never heard back after that. Its too bad, their tools are "okay" I had issues with a few of them. Hope the new jig is working out better. Let us know.

      Thanks Richard. I totally get it. I hadn't heard from him in a while and it just showed up out of the blue. I like all the pocket-hole jigs. I think they all have pros and cons. I hope they do send it to you soon. I love your detailed reviews. And, I'd like to see what you think of it. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment my friend.

      Thanks Dexter. I thinks it's a neat little jig. I did a head to head Kreg vs Armor, as well as a Kreg, Armor, and Massca review. And independent reviews on all 3. But, maybe I can do a portable head to head. Great idea. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment.

    Thanks for the review. Looks like the pocket hole jig race is heating up. I see Massca has a new mini jig that lets you adjust the width of the holes. Pretty soon, that'll have a jig that drills the holes for you. :-)

    I have what my be a very dumb question. Lets say you are attaching a 2"x4" to a 3/4" piece of plywood. Which piece to you measure with the calipar?

    • @Woodcraft716
      @Woodcraft716  Před rokem +1

      Good question. After running out and looking at it. I would say to set it up for the thinner material and also drill into the 3/4" piece. That way, you can't accidentally drill too big of a hole. And you can drill 3/4" into any size board. It will still attach with the proper screws.
      I hope that answers your question. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment 👍
