Snappy Tools Plug Cutter, 3/8

First time using a plug cutter. I cut plugs from walnut, a fairly hard wood. Smoked a lot, so I would let up and go back, trying not to overheat the tool. It rounds of the end for easy insertion. Seems like a good price, I only needed 8 plugs, plan to use it more so time will tell. Would definitely recommend.

Suggest limiting use to a drill press for stability. Plugs are nice to use but the counter sink depth needs to be more significant than a non-chamfered plug. Wood thickness could cause minor limitation in applications.

Works as advertise

This cuts perfect plugs with a chamfered edge. Easy to use with drill press, running at 620 RPM. I wouldnt try to use this with a hand held drill.

Im using this to cut out plugs for the mahogany porch Im installing at home. Use lower speeds as written on the package and put it in your drill press. It takes a while to cut several hundred of them, so I do it in shifts. After a while you will get the hang of how it cuts. Steady medium pressure.

must be used in a solid drill press for optimum results... If tried with a hand drill, it will dance all over the place because the tips are very sharp and travel before penetrating.

Unusable vibrates to bad 2 out of 8 usable plugs

Have cut hundreds of plugs working on wooden boats. I would recommend to anyone that are looking for quality plug cutters and not want to spend a fortune.

it is doing the job. after quiet many plugs I made with the bit and a drill press I needed to sharpen the bit then I kept working, no problem.

I bought this to cut mahogany plugs and all it did is burn the wood did not get one plug drilled - dont buy
