Summary: 5 Stars
I have quite an extensive workshop and love it when a new tool comes along that really changes the way I do things. This system of joinery has really been a great addition to my workshop. It was easy to set up and start using. The joints made were nice and tight. This tool will get lots of use in my future projects.Customer Review: Best way to make some wood joints
Summary: 5 Stars
This tool is the best way I've seen to join two pieces of wood together, accurately and securely. It's fast and easy. Even a non-woodworker like me can make great joints.Customer Review: Better than the K2000, which is also great
Summary: 5 Stars
I have been a happy Kreg K2000 owner for several years. As such, I find the beauty of the Kreg jigs to be their tight, nearly invisible joints for things like face frames and edge banding, and the strength of the joints they form from a structural standpoint. Screws in a ton of sizes and types are widely available as well, which makes these jigs even more useful.
For the price, I can't envision a better way to supplement your wood joinery capabilities than the K3MS, especially if you don't already own a Kreg jig. I've used mine for everything from furniture work with oak plugs to construction that doesn't have to look nice, just be strong. It works well for both. The most significant upgrade in the K3 over the K2 is the chip-collection capability. It's remarkable how quickly you can fill a work area with chips using a pocket-hole jig. I have also found the pivoting clamp pocket on the back of the three-hole jig body very useful when clamping it directly to a piece of plywood or other large work surface. It makes jig alignment fast and easy, and that translates to faster, better-quality work.
Other than these feature upgrades, if you're already a K2 user you probably won't find much value in the K3. But if you don't own a Kreg jig already, the K3MS is an outstanding way to spend less than $150 upgrading your woodshop!
Customer Review: Biscuits - who needs 'em?
Summary: 4 Stars
You can justify the purchase of the K3 with one project. You will save so much time on assembly and even more not needing any clamps and glue or drying time. My first project was a large frame for a HT screen, the second was some shelves. I am now going to build an entertainment center.
Buy the Right Angle Clamp (RAC) as you will need it and the kit should really include one. Okay I am sure there are a few things where biscuits would be a better solution but it is a very short list if you have the K3.
