On the topic of SPT's on 10ER's, the one I picked up and restored over Christmas had the rather ingenious setup shown below:

The outer pulley was simply bolted to the existing pulley and a short shaft machined to take the drive coupling was inserted in the pulley and locked with a set screw. The tool mount is self explanatory. If, at first glance, it doesn't seem very strong, think a second about the little plastic coupling it's driving.

I hope everybody learns this because I'm so ugly that no one is going to want to breathe life into me...

They do not want whisker burn either, nor do they have large enough lungs!:D

They might have trouble reaching me since I am taller when I lay down than I am when I stand up.

This is from inside a case. I do not have the case, I just copied the pic.[ATTACH]8181[/ATTACH]
This is from my instructions of the mini kreg jig kit.

I saw that (attachment 8182). I just wonder why they say two different depths. I watched a video on assembling a kreg workbench. The guy (Jeff Devlin) mentioned 1 1/2" wood set collar at 4 1/8". This matches attachment 8181. Sorry to be a PITA, but this is very confusing to me.

Hi,

I own two Kreg jigs. Both of them have only 3 dept collar settings. They are 3-1/2" for 3/4" material, 3-5/16" for 1/2" material, and 4-1/4" for 1-1/2" material.

They also address only 3 sizes of wood, one using a mechanical system to locate the jig and the other a dimension from the edge of the wood to the jig.

The mini jig says to have the jig flush to the edge of 3/4" material, the jig is to extend over the edge by 1/4" on 1/2" material, and for 1-1/2" material it is back from the edge by 1/4"

In all of these cases the tip of the bit is designed to be 1/8" back from coming through the wood. If you were to set the bit say 1/8" deeper on the 3/4" material (3-5/8") then the tip of the bit should just break the surface. If the bit were set so it was within a distance of 1/16" of breaking through the surface it would be set at.....3-9/16"

Hope this helps.

Which one of these kreg depth referances are right?
