KD fasteners and tooling

What brand and model of KD fasteners do you like to use ? What special tooling is used? I do not have a drill block.
How does this method KD fastener, compare to blind dado and pocket screws, for shipping to the consumer for final assembly?

Re: Part editor trouble with DXF again

After 7 years and hundreds of hours struggling with dxf files, calling tech support, begging for help almost every job. A year and a half ago I bought a copy of Aspire and have not had to call tech support one time. Do yourself a favor. I hope I never have to go back to working with layered dxf files

Re: Is there a way to estimate cut time for a job?

Aspire will do that. Based on the feeds and speeds then you can adjust to your particular machine.
