For 3/4" use the 1.25" course thread screws.
Robbie-
I too just bought a Kreg and love it. I have already run out of the screws they provide. Any suggestions on the best place to resupply?
Kimberly: Going right through the company is one way I have used in the past. They tend to have the best price, if my memory is correct.
Woodcraft also sells them. If fact I just bought a small back (100 ea) of the 1.5" "outdoor" screws for about $6.00. At 6 cents each, they aren't cheap.
Incidentally, the proprietary outdoor screw is said to be better than galv and similar to SS in terms of rust resistance. Kreg have data on this they are willing to share.

I get mine at menards. They are about $2.99 for 100.
try this address they have great prices and good shipping wwhardware.com check it out
Hi! I had a similar problem until I started obtaining screws from McFeely's. Menard's are less costly. McFeely's has a deal from time-to-time on square drive screws where you get a variety for $5.00.

I use mainly oak & poplar, but the length is the same 1 1/4" for 3/4" material----soft woods require the "coarse" thread screws/
Thanks guys!!!
I agree with all the posts so far (even though I have only one screw size in house), I think I need to order some course. I just wanted to say I love my Kreg. Cool tool!
Roy:
I could not agree with you more. The Kreg jig is easily the best $100 tool investment I have ever made. It is super high quality and gives great results.
This is a must have in every woodworkers tool cabinet.

Yeah Bob, From planned designed projects to fix-its' projects and shop shelves and fixtures, its' the best. Quick and easy. My wife and daughter came back from some weekend event a couple of weeks ago with a foot stool kit. Sunday morning coffee my daughter and I threw the instructions away (which included nails) and redesigned on the fly. One one the best tools I bought in years.
Who needs distructions anyway!
Enjoy, Roy
