Snappy Tools Plug Cutter, 3/8

Get a fuller. These just burn through the wood.

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.

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

Does cut a 3/8” plug cleanly and with a nice tapered end if you drive it all the way down. I’ve cut about 30-35 plugs in hard sapele and I have had no problems at al. I use my drill press on the slow speed- that’s important. And it cuts the hard wood well. It does heat up some after about our plugs I stick it in some water and start again.

It’s overall good but needs to be at really high speeds to work

Cuts Great

Probably cuts a good plug for hardwood but absolutely blows for softwood don’t bother.

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.

When set up in the drill press with a positive stop, this cutter reproduces perfect plugs from hardwoods.

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.
