Snappy Tools Plug Cutter, 3/4

This fit my needs perfectly. I needed to replace a number of popped plugs in my floor. They fit the 3/4” holes smoothly, as opposed to the cheaper cutters that sometimes are too large or too small.

Remodeling our deck and I needed to plug some 3/4 holes left by the last railing. Used the same material that the deck was made of and this cutter cut EXACT size I needed. Realy like the taper. Makes the plug go into the hole easily and then snugs down to make a perfect fit.

I received this 3/4 inch and a 1/2 inch plug cutter from Bowers Tool promptly. Both are well made and Im glad to have an American-made product! I tried the 3/4 inch cutter in my drill press at 540 RPM on a piece of pine. It made a neat, clean cut with apparently little effort. I took my time to avoid overheating the cutter, and there was no burning of the wood. Im pleased with these cutters and highly recommend them and Bowers Tool.

I used it to cut plugs and wanted side grain to match the door instead of a dowel with end grain and it shows up too easily. The oak plugs I made looked great. Now I have the 3/4 to go with the rest of the SNappy kit.

I cut 10 plugs in 3/4 hard red oak flooring to plug some 3/4 holes in my floor. Max plug depth is about 0.50 with the cutter all the way down. Some burning of the oak can be seen in the pictures which I was unable to avoid with any speed or cut pressure. Best performance was at 450RPM and light feed pressure. These plugs were cut with a table saw at 0.47 long. The tool produces a tapered plug with a slight radius at the small end to aid in insertion. Small diameter is 0.742, large diameter is 0.762. This produced a good interference fit into a 0.75 hole. the tool seems well made and other than the slight burning, performed very well. For comparison, I cut a straight walled 0.745 plug using my CNC router and .125 bit. I ended up using the tapered plugs.

For that price I expected perfect plugs and they were not even close. Try to get a clean glue line with this your dreaming.

Works pretty good, it is not tapered very much, but it is just enough. Have cut about 80 plugs so far and its finally acting dull, going to fine tune the cutting edges.

I liked the sharpness, weight and durability of this excellent tool. I will buy more as needed.

I use plugs in many different woodworking applications and really like snappys plug cutters. I have numerous sizes and they always perform in any species that i throw at it. Just a very nice product and a decent price point.

Works well, though I had to touch up the cutting points because it bounced around in its packaging. Tip to the manufacturer, include something in the bottom, be it a piece of foam or a plastic spacer to keep the cutter from bouncing around in transit.
