OneMoreFarang Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 7 minutes ago, Artisi said: What's a pocket hole screw? I also didn't know what it is and just looked it up: Pocket hole screws serve a specific purpose—sometimes a project calls for a screw that isn’t threaded from the drive to the tip. It’s important to use pocket hole screws to prevent damage, or a weaker hold when your project calls for it. And, just as every project requires a different type of screw, pocket hole screws are no exception. You may need a coarse thread, fine thread, square drive, or a specific point to achieve the desired results—no two projects are the same, and no two screw types should be used the same.

eyecatcher Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 I have never seen them in the big box stores but if you are in Chiamg Mai I can tell you exactly where to grt them. You could of course improvise and use a washer on the end of a more regular screw. Its the jig that I would have thought the harder to obtain.

The jigs are easy to get http://www.thaicarpenter.com/index.php?lay=show&ac=search_vela_product&search=Kreg jig&&pparamCount=0&searchvela=dosearch though not cheap the Lazada price is really high as the same size from Thaicarpenter are 4,500 for 1,000 Edited October 19, 2018 by sometimewoodworker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
