Quick answer
Set up the Kreg Micro-Pocket Drill Guide Kit 730 by attaching the drill guide to your Kreg 720 or 720PRO jig, adjusting the depth collar for 1/2-inch stock, and test-drilling a pocket hole before starting your project.
Why choose the Micro-Pocket Drill Guide Kit 730?
The Kreg Micro-Pocket Drill Guide Kit 730 creates pocket holes that are 33% smaller in diameter than standard guides. This makes it ideal for thinner stock (1/2 inch) and narrow pieces down to 1 inch wide. It also works well for repair work where you want a smaller hole that's easier to conceal.
The kit is compatible only with the Kreg Pocket-Hole Jig 720 and 720PRO. If you own a different jig model, this guide will not fit. The trade-off is that you lose the ability to drill standard-size pocket holes without swapping back to the original guide.
Step-by-step setup guide
- Attach the micro drill guide to your jig: Remove the standard drill guide from your Kreg 720 or 720PRO jig. Slide the Micro-Pocket Drill Guide Kit 730 into the guide slot until it clicks into place. Tighten the thumbscrew to secure it. Common mistake: Forgetting to fully seat the guide. If it wobbles, pocket holes will be misaligned.
- Set the depth collar for your stock thickness: Loosen the depth collar on the drill bit. Place the bit against the edge of your 1/2-inch stock so the collar rests on the top surface. Tighten the collar. For thicker or thinner material, adjust the collar so the bit tip extends just past the material thickness. Checkpoint: Drill a test hole in scrap first. If the screw tip pokes through the surface, the collar is set too deep.
- Adjust the jig fence for material width: For narrow stock (down to 1 inch), slide the fence so the material sits flush against the guide. Use the clamp to hold the work piece firmly. Double-check that the drill bit path is centered on the edge. Common mistake: Clamping too loosely. Thin stock can shift during drilling, ruining the joint.
- Drill a test pocket hole: Insert a Kreg Pan-Head Pocket-Hole Screw (SPS) into the test hole. Drive it into a mating piece of the same material. Confirm the joint pulls tight without splitting the wood. Checkpoint: If the screw strips or fails to seat, re-check the depth collar and fence alignment before proceeding to your project.

Kreg Micro-Pocket™ Drill Guide Kit 730: Drill pocket holes that are 33% smaller in diameter. Works with 1/2" (13mm) stock and narrow stock, down to 1" (25mm) wide. This lets you join thin or narrow boards that a standard pocket-hole jig can't handle, and the smaller holes are easier to fill or hide in visible work.
