Drilling Jigs
Drilling Jigs for Joinery and Cabinet Hardware
Drilling jigs guide the bit to the same spot every time, so joints line up and hardware hangs straight. Kreg leads this collection with the K5, 720, 720PRO, and 320 pocket-hole jigs, plus hardware jigs for concealed hinges, drawer slides, knobs and pulls, and cabinet door mounting. Kreg shelf pin jigs drill rows for adjustable shelves. Porter Cable dovetail jigs and hinge and strike templates, Woodpeckers handle and spline jigs, and a handle and knob jig round it out.
What to Look For
- Task. Pocket-hole jigs build face frames and boxes. Hardware jigs install hinges, slides, and pulls.
- Material thickness. Kreg 720 and 320 jigs adjust for 1/2 to 1-1/2-inch stock.
- Clamping. Automaxx clamping on the 720 series sets itself to the board thickness.
- Repeat work. Templates and stops speed up cabinet runs with many identical doors and drawers.

Drilling Jigs FAQ
Which Kreg pocket-hole jig should I buy?
The 320 is portable and suits occasional projects. The 720 and 720PRO add Automaxx clamping for faster setup. The K5 is a benchtop jig with a front clamp handle for production work.
Do I need a hinge jig for cabinet doors?
A concealed hinge jig like the Kreg KHI-HINGE with its 35 mm bit locates the cup hole at the right depth and setback, which is hard to do freehand.
