<![CDATA[Four times when NOT to use pocket holes:]]>Four times when NOT to use pocket holes:

1) Anything structural (not designed for structural strength, screws can pull out; dadoes are better)

2) Edge glued panels (can cause misalignment, glue alone is enough)

3) Furniture like chairs (they look ugly, mortise and tenon is stronger; dowels or dominoes are good alternatives)

4) Miter joints (only works for wide miters, can cause misalignment; better to use a spline key)
