How to Clamp a Corner for a Kreg Jig

Kreg Jig products create an aesthetically pleasing alternative to traditional nails.

Kreg Jig products are designed to make it easy to attach pieces of wood quickly and easily, without messy glue or complicated clamping. With the proper Kreg Jig products a woodworker can make simple 90-degree corners with no glue and only a few screws. The finished product is then free of exposed screws and other unwanted aesthetic elements, while maintaining a strong connection that will remain secure. The process of clamping and connecting a corner is simple and straightforward.

Things You'll Need

• Kreg Jig
• Kreg Jig 90-degree corner clamp
• Wood screws
• Power drill
• Screwdriver
• Kreg Jig hole plugs (optional)

Instructions

1. Clamp each piece of wood into the Kreg Jig, holding it securely in place. Insert the drill into each hole of the Jig to make the proper holes for your wood screws.

2. Align the two pieces that will form your 90-degree corner as they will be when assembled.

3. Clamp the pieces of wood together with the Kreg Jig 90-degree clamp. Adjust for the thickness of the wood by tightening or loosening the bolt in the handle until the clamp tightens securely against the wood pieces, holding them at a 90-degree angle.

4. Slide the screws into the holes and use a screwdriver to screw them into place. This will secure the two pieces of wood together.

5. Release the lever inside the handle of the clamp to remove it. Fill the holes with Kreg Jig hole plugs if desired.
