When using pocket screws, the objective is to have the screws exit the work piece approximately in the center.
So if you are working with a 51 x 51 piece of timber, the tip of the Kreg bit should exit the timber at about 25 MM from the face. For this, the cheap drill guide can be used. The trick is to position the drill guide further up the timber or away from the end. It may be necessary to drill the holes in two steps. The first step is using the drill guide and the second to complete the hole to the appropriate depth.
In no way do I endorse the Kreg for fine furniture. For some of the tasks in the shed, the Kreg may be acceptable.
