Pros & Cons
Pros
Comes with the 35mm forstner bit, but no drill bit for the screw holes. After every 3 or 4 holes i've drilled, i just add a dab of light silicone grease or superlube grease and work it around to make sure it's spinning easily by hand.
This product is actually innovative in a way that is simpler, but kind of obvious. I'm sure it will come in handy later.
Cons
Drill bit needs a metal collar to avoid the melting in the part that stands up. But the guide is plastic, so after the 3rd hole it melted. Only after 5 holes drilled, this * is useless to use.
It does better in denser wood. Not as noticeable in beech for instance. Given the premium pricing kreg charges for everything, this is unacceptable.
Highlights
Quality
So easy to use sturdy and sharp
Its a kreg product strong accurate and well made
Holding doors to a drill press is much more awkward than this tool
Once all those settings were known i was able to knock out and drill all cabinet doors in about an hour or so
Price
Im replacing every cabinet door in my kitchen 15 doors and this thing has paid for itself many times over
That being said the replacement cost almost twice as much so for the cost this is a good option
While longevity is a concern due to lack of metal sleeves for drill bits for its price the value is unmatched
Competitiveness
While the jig works perfectly as intended i noticed the build quality of the jig is not as nice as branded tools like dewalt or milwaukee
Upon research we found that kreg which weve seen promoted so much by a bunch of diyers has a jig that will do just what we needed

If you have a bevelled edge kitchen cabinet door the kreg product doesnt rest on the doors outer edge

The side mount overhang is only a quarter inch so the adjustors mm are not long enough in depth to rest on the edge
