I had always seen them used for joining face frames and boxes. and
stuff like that. Using them across the joint of a panel was new to
me.

My proof points that it is somewhat uncommon a

- All of the accessories Kreg sells are vice grips for holding down
face frame type joints, etc.
- The Kreg little hand held drill guides have two or three paired
holes, great for face frame sticks. But no big wide jig with a few far
spaced holes that would be good for a panel.
- I just fast forwarded through the "Joinery 101" video on the Kreg
site and the closest thing they show to a panel joint is a stave type
glue up with beveled edges (near end of video). They never show a true
flat panel.

As I said, this is a throw away tip. If it's not useful or
insightful...

Please don't take my comment as disrespectful or a pie in the eye. ;~)
Seriousely I think my very first joint, between a piece of walnut and
mahogany was actually to form a small panel. IMHO it is the panel joint is
the best of all possible joints. The first demo I saw years ago was the
union of 2 pieces of wood on their edges. ;~)
Thanks for sharing, again.
