When using pocket screws on soft woods, sometimes the screws will crush the bottom of the pocket hole and allow the screw tip to come through the other side of your piece.

2. Plug the pocket hole, move the jig further back and re-drill the hole. This may not make as strong a joint if the screw breaks into the old screw shaft hole.
3. Use a piece of wood dowel to make a washer to fit under the pocket screw head and restore the bottom of the pocket. -Read More
