I'm not following. Isn't that what the cam adjustments are for on the
jig? Are you saying that they may not be sturdy enough to hold it well?


I would want to see how the cams lock to the predetermined position.Â* If
a friction fit they could simply slip out of adjustment, cams by design
are supposed to slip over a surface.Â* With out a hard solid stop I would
be skeptical.Â*Â* Not saying that this is a problem but I have bought some
Kreg jigs that were not well thought out.Â* The Shelf pin jig for
instance.Â* If you use more than one shelf pin jig the assembly binds.
BTDT.


From the video, it looks like there's a pretty good "click" happening
when the cam is turned. It looks like it needs a good amount of force
to turn.
I don't know if that means anything, but it's just something I observed.
