It takes a discerning eye to see a stack of lumber and turn it into something functional like a bookshelf, a kitchen table, or even cabinetry. At Kreg, we want to design wood project solutions that fit your project needs. And this year we have plenty of new offerings for you. Take the all-new Adaptive Cutting System, designed to enhance your overall experience while cutting wood. It’s our newest solution for making precise cuts in sheet goods and solid boards. At its heart, the system features a Plunge Saw and Guide Track, but it really shines when paired with the Project Table and accessories – so you can make precise, repeatable cuts eas- ier than ever. In the shop or on the go, this all-in-one-system truly adapts to your cutting needs. When you’re not using it, fold it up and tuck it out of the way so you can move on to your next project. The pocket-hole joinery lineup has a pretty big addition this year, too. We’ve launched a quicker, easier way to add pocket holes to your projects with a versatile pocket-hole jig.
