but I can't decide between the newer K4 or the older K3 master system. I've heard good about the newer K4 and good and bad about the K3 master system. Any input from the Creek's wealth of knowledge is appreciated.

K4 is not a replacement for the K3. K3 Master is their top of the line jig.

You only need to drill one cabinet panel to appreciate the drill side clamp handle!

The decision has been made. The comments about having things on the same side made the difference--master system it is. Thanks guys!

I love my K3. It does everything that I ask of it, and more.

I have only pulled mine out of the box to play with it and it is AWESOME!!! I cant wait to use it on a project. I also have the Klamp Table. Still need to put it together.

I love my k3 and since we have dust collection all over the sight you will appreciate the little vacum hook up. The drill bit will make a surprising amount of chips and the vacum will clean it up.

With the K200 version you can add a foot actuated air clamp. Probably add to K2, K2000, and K4 as well. K4 with that would be the ultimate jig as you would also get dust pickup as well.

Kreg gives the most bang for the buck of just about any woodworking accesory tool.

Let's see....What's the saying? Pry it from my cold, dead hands? I really like mine, and it is the old alloy jobby.

You could also get the drill guide rods for the K-2, where drill attached to jig, and lined up for holes, but no more:mad:
