Kreg’s newer jig comes with a chip collector but the one that was bought for me a couple of years ago does not. Last winter my grandson Ethan (then 3) and I were working together using the jig and he observed that it made a mess.
Once we had finished drilling the holes, Ethan spent considerable time attempting to gather the chips and dust up. This encouraged me to make a little “house” that pressure fits onto the pocket hole jig and into which I can fit a shop-vac hose. It really works well. Ethan agrees!
It only took about an hour to make this and I wonder why I took so long to get around to it.
