Tried out the Kreg jig yesterday and I'm not impressed.
I tested it on a couple of scrap pieces of 2x4.
The actual thickness is 1 1/2" so I set the jig to the maximum of 1 1/2" and used 2 1/2" screws.
The point of the screw is well above the center line of the wood and barely 1/4" screw protrudes - I can't see how that would ever be a decent joint.
I haven't yet tried it on thinner stock - which is what I actually bought it for (e.g. framing), so hopefully it works better.
