Kreg Adjustable Shelf Pin Jig Review - 5mm and 1/4' Bits

The KMA3220/KMA3200 shelf pin jig is an awesome solution for adding shelf pin holes to existing cabinets or new ones.

Most complete review of the Krueger shelf hole jig I’ve seen, thank you.

I use to dread putting adjustable shelving into a project.
I would use pegboard as a jig, which lasted long enough for one project, maybe.
I also used hardwood to make a shelf pin jig. But I had to make a jig to precisely drill the holes to make the jig, because the hardwood jigs would eventually wear out too.
That was too much jigging around to have a jig.
Then one day I was at my favourite tool haunt, and saw the Kreg jig. It took all of less than two seconds to realize the significance of the jig, I decide to buy the jig, with the extra bit. So now I didn't have to use the jig to make a jig, again, which was jiggy by me.
As far as I'm concerned the Kreg shelf pin jig, is worth the jiggin money, to not have to jig around making shelf pin jigs.
Good jiggin video.
Cheers. 👋🇨🇦

Good review. I've been using those jigs for a few projects and they work great. One thing to mention though: if you want to use the shelf pin holes to mount plates for European hinges or drawer slides, it won"t work. The spacing from the front edge to the center-line of the holes must be 37mm and neither side of the jig's fence mounting option gives that spacing.

Nice job. Very thorough. Just got one. Thanks!

I just bought this at a yard sale. It came with the hole spacer pin, but the rubber washer doesn't slide thru the holes on the jig.🤔
I tried reversing the pin and it still won't slide thru the hole like you have in the video at minute 4:50
Any thoughts?

You can use a little silicone lube (small tube $5 used for plumbing O-rings) lasts a long time and reduces wear (minimizes friction), uses very little and does not damage plastic.

we bought a white cabinet for lowes i need to added 2 more holes for 2 shelf for the peg what sizes bit would i need 1/4" or 5mm drill bit to make the holes

Very thorough review but there's one thing that's missing. I'd like to know if the hole is exactly the same distance from the end on both ends. I know it's supposed to be, but one complaint I've seen on Amazon reviews for this is that it isn't. So you align it with the bottom of the wood and make the holes for the front of the cabinet. Then you turn this jig around, align it with the bottom of the wood and make the holes for the back of the cabinet on the same side. Both sets of holes are supposed to be exactly the same distance from the bottom, but reviewers say they are off and the shelf doesn't sit flat. Have you found this to be the case?

Can you use either drill bits size for the jig?

If I’m using 5/8 melamine for shelving which drill bit should I be using? Does it matter

[RaggedsEdge]

Wow I could have used this 15 years ago lol.
