KREG KMA3200 Shelf Pin Drilling Jig

Product Information

Woodworkers know the option of laying out the holes, and drilling by hand can be done. But without a jig, this manual method will inevitably lead to tippy shelves. So, looking for a jig with the following features will save time and improve the quality of your next project: Almost every shelf requires two rows of shelf pins. So why not have a jig that can do both simultaneously? Your best bet with a standard jig would be with a 5mm bit that is 0.2″ vs. the 0.1875″ of a 3/16″. The hole size will be similar to the eye, and if you can match the pins in 5mm you’ll know where they are as they won’t fit in the 3/16″ holes. Another option if you are drilling a number of holes would be to mark the hole center with a jig and bit, then use a brad point drill bit with a depth collar set to the right depth to finish the hole.

Additionally, most shelf pin jigs are designed to work with a standard drill, which makes them easy to use and accessible for DIY enthusiasts of all skill levels. If you’re adding shelf pin holes to an existing piece of furniture or building shelves from scratch, the Shelf Pin Jig is the perfect tool for the job. Unlike other shelf pin guides, the KregShelf Pin Jig features hardened-steel drill guides that ensure precise and straight drilling, so you’ll get level, wobble-free shelves. With a jig, there isn’t much to consider other than a classic question: do I drill the holes before assembling the cabinet?

Hi Scott, appreciate the question. 3/16″ is a rare size in a shelf pin! I have only seen a 7/32″ shelf pin drill bit, and a more common 5mm bit is slightly smaller and closer to that 3/16″.
