Assemble the Kreg Jig® Support/Stop

1. Slide the center tongue of the Support/Stop Arm between the outside extensions of the

Support/Stop Base and align the pivot hole through all three surfaces.

2. Insert the Pivot Pin through one outside surface of the Support/Stop Base and either tap into
place with a mallet or a hammer and a block of wood to prevent marring the end of the Pivot Pin.
Continue to advance the Pivot Pin until it is fully seated in the Support/Stop Base and Support/
Stop Arm. Push the 1/4”-20 Hex Nut into the side of the Support/Stop Arm hex recess.

3. Thread the Nylon Stop Bolt from either side through the Support/Stop Arm into the Hex Nut.
Which side will depend on which side of the Kreg Jig® that the Support/Stop will be used.

4. Thread the Knurled Nylon Lock Nut onto the Nylon Stop Bolt on the side of the Support/Stop
Arm opposite the Hex Nut. It may be necessary to thread the Knurled Nylon Lock Nut onto the
Nylon Stop Bolt prior to threading the Nylon Stop Bolt into the Hex Nut in some applications.

*Note: Mini Trak Bolt & T-Nut provided for use with Kreg Mini Trak, (KMS7506) sold separately.

Material Support/Stop (Fig. 2A-D)

The Material Support/Stop is a dual function feature
that both “Supports” large panels to keep them
perpendicular to the base of the jig, and “Stops”
workpieces in a desired position to easily repeat a
2-hole spacing across a rail.

If you intend to use the Support/Stop mainly as
a support, we recommend that you locate it 8-10”
from the base of the jig to provide proper
support across the full width of a panel. Add
multiple Support/Stops to your work surface to
gain more placement versatility (Item# KJSS). Screw
holes are provided to screw mount the Material
Support/Stop to the work surface.

The Material Support/Stop is also designed to
function as a position stop. The end of the Nylon
Stop Bolt is positioned to rest against the workpiece
to “center” the workpiece across the predetermined
2-hole spacing. By locking the Nylon Stop Bolt in
position several pieces of the same width may be
located and drilled quickly to minimize the time
involved in measuring the pocket hole location for
each workpiece. When the stop position is no longer
being used the Material Support/Stop Arm may be
pivoted out of the way to drill panels or large face
frame components. We recommend that you locate
the Material Support/Stop approximately 1/8” to
3/4” from the base of the jig for optimum
performance as a Stop.

You may notice that a notch in the bottom of the
Support/Stop Base is sized to span the profile of
Kreg Mini Trak (sold separately). A special “T”-nut and
#10-32 Machine Screw are included with the Material
Support/Stop hardware pack for mounting to the
Kreg Mini Trak.By adding a length of Kreg Mini Trak
(KMS7506). to either side of the K3 Benchtop Base
an adjustable Support/Stop system may be created
to allow the drilling of several pocket holes across the
width of large panels at repeatable locations. Mini Trak
sold separately.

The Material Support/Stop may also be used with
the K3 Portable Base as a Stop. Mount the Material
Support/Stop adjacent to the Portable Base in a
similar fashion as with the Benchtop Base.
