Pocket holes can be forgiven.. after all he's a Queenslander.
Pocket holes have their place... I hate Kreg... but that's the company and not the product.
Sorry RC, but I pulled up short with those white runners and haven't even laid eyes on your
" (just a bit of trivia and in case a eagle eye or Duck eye spots what looks to be incorrect setup of the Black microJig) "
comment. I appreciate budgets and have little idea of the cost of the "blum" type of runners as I bought a swag many years ago. If I built all my model toys I would need 5 cabinets, so I mass bought at bargain prices.
Personally, the only difference between those white runners and shit is that they are white and shit works better. Sorry bud, but I'd rather use the traditional timber runners than those... in comparison... I love sideways pictures.
Bunnings/anyone should be banned from selling them.
Agree that MDF, and more specifically melamine, are dogs when it comes to pocket holes... you just need to brace with heavy clamps, double-sided tape, glue, bolt, nail and DOMINO them before pocket holing to stop slippage... actually Stanton has a few reasonable videos on pocket holing.
If you decide on those stainless runners, get a tradie mate to buy them from a builders supplier. There are many less costly out there that wont cream the budget.
RC, I'll be parting with my Domino cheap, when Fe$tool release a cordless version.
If your first cut is too short... Take the second cut from the longer end... LBD
