Guys can we wait a bit? We are so busy with the inductions now… is more important isn’t it?
In general I agree but if we wait in a couple of weeks we can buy something with a good research behind… let’s don’t rush… still shitloads to do for us…

I have a pocket hole jig I’m happy to lend the space for now if anyone wants to have a play with it in the meantime. It’s not the kreg one but another brand from screwfix. It’s pretty easy to use, if you can use a drill safely you can use this. Only constraint is the material you’re joining has to be at least 18mm thick, not sure if that’s the same with the kreg.
Thanks a lot, that I’m sure will help…
Some of them go down to 12 mm but not less…
There’s probably a limit on what thickness you can safely hold together with pocket screws anyway ?
Yes exactly… the screws grab on the thickness of the material… So less than 12 I don’t think is doable
Agreed, if anyone is in a rush to biscuit joint anything let me know…
I was looking at the router table last night and we may have to spend some money on that. Like a dedicated spindle and height adjuster.
I would like to talk to @stefanoromano regarding this on Saturday if you are about.
I can get it working on Saturday but height adjustment will be a pain in the rear.
So do we want something that works but takes a bit longer to set up for use, or wait a bit longer, spend some money on it and have it easy to use.
The router lifts i was looking at looked fantastic but the cheapest one was £300 (incra or jessem do them)
Probably worth the money though they are very precise and adjustable directly from the top
A post was split to a new topic: Bringing router table into action
I left a pocket hole jig in a small box on the bench in the corner near the fire door to clean room. The box has my name on it.

Awesome! Thanks @SarahJ!
Just in case anyone is planning to use this soon - I’ve taken it home for a week or so for something Im building. Will post again when it’s back in the space.
