   They tend to give you information for "like thicknesses."  But for instance, if my "rail" is 1-1/2" thick and my "stile" is 1-1/8" thick what size pocket hole screw should I use?

   A matrix would be helpful when joining dis-simular thickness of wood.

   I can't imagine using different thickness rails and stiles.  Would you match them on the front or the back?  It would make a difference.  This would be so unusual that such details would probably never be publicized

   All I know is that if you set the depth of the stop collar too deep the screw will come out on the top of the material. I was using 3/4" thick material. I go by this as a guide for the screw length.

   Stan ,

           I have never used a Kreg but have been using pocket holes and screws for many years and you can address the different size frame members with different length screws on occasion .

     Changing your set up jig vs wood will give you more options for different applications .

     A more common application may be a say 6 or 8/4 rail , you have to make some adjustment in set up or screw but it will work .
