Tips
To secure a miter joint with HD Screws, drill one
pocket hole about ½" [13mm] from the miter
“heel.” To get a screw close to the miter “toe” and
still have the pocket hole entirely on the face of the
part, remove the stop block from the drill guide.
Position the drill guide on the workpiece, angled
away from the miter toe. Clamp the drill guide in
place and drill the pocket hole. Where the distance
between pocket holes approaches 6" [152mm],
drill a pocket hole midway between the two. In
general, space pocket holes about 3" [76mm]
center-to-center along a joint. You can drill pocket
holes in both parts or drill them all in one part.
