Popular Post kmealy Posted October 30 Popular Post Report Share Posted October 30 (edited) We're on our second Kreg Foreman (and lots of bits) at the furniture bank and are looking for a more commercial replacement. We will go thru about 80,000 screws this year. About half of them are pocket holes and the rest are just holding parts together. Will let you know what we happen to get.

DuckSoup Posted Monday at 07:55 PM Report Share Posted Monday at 07:55 PM Surely @kmealy all the good you and your team does at the furniture bank any one of those companies should be proud to donate the tool & supplies to you.

Fred W. Hargis Jr Posted Monday at 09:29 PM Report Share Posted Monday at 09:29 PM Bob makes a good point, I would think that some would donate or discount those kind of things. That aside, Kreg does resharpen those bits, inexpensive and they (I've been told) do a nice job.....I realize you probably know that but might be worth mentioning anyway.

The problem we often have is the narrow diameter tip gets broken off. Since we have volunteers that are new, my theory is they move the wood before the bit is fully retracted. We have been buying stuff from a local machinery dealer, one that I've used for 40 years. Grandpadave52, Fred W.
