Snappy Tools Plug Cutter, 3/8

Great plug maker. Recommend using a drill press to ensure they are all straight and uniform. Take your time and let the tool cut the plug. Dont force it!

I used this for creating wood plugs for a project with a handheld drill and was happy with the results. Im sure they would have come out better with a drill press, but I didnt have access to one. It does take some skill to find the right pressure and speed to avoid burning the plugs as they are cut, but generally felt successful using it and feel it really took my project up a notch.

I got this along with a counterbore set from Snappy - I was able to sink some screws on the underside of a serving board and then hide the holes with custom plugs. It worked well for me. The plugs I cut were a little skinny but that could have been use error and a little run out on the drill press. Since I was not looking for an invisible fit I was happy. The bit is sharp and cut through mesquite just fine. Walnut got scorched a bit but once I lowered the speed of the press it was fine for me. I am an amateur and your mileage may vary. Buy American.

No complaints. This little thing works perfectly on mahogany, but probably requires a drill press, which is what we used.

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.

The plug is exactly the correct size. I have found that I need to cut the plug quickly to help the cutter not to burn the wood (walnut at the moment).

Cuts Great

works good

The worst plug cutter Ive ever used. Tons of chatter and the resulting plugs were smaller than 3/8.
