Vent: my new drawer slide jig did me dirty on a kitchen job in Seattle

I grabbed one of those magnetic jigs last month and it shifted halfway through drilling, so 14 out of 30 drawers are off by a hair. My client's not screaming yet, but I'm gonna have to shim or re-drill half of them this weekend. Anyone else had a jig fail mid-run and have a fix that actually worked?

Magnetic jigs are kinda known for that, they're not really meant for production runs. Sounds like you need to grab a center punch and re-drill those holes, shimming will just hide the problem.
