Snappy Tools Plug Cutter, 3/8

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

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.

Only used a few times so far on soft wood.so far pretty happy with it

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

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 to cut plugs for use on my Trex deck --using a scrap piece of Trex decking. It worked perfectly. One hint: This plug cutter is designed to leave a narrowed top to then invert for easy insertion into wood. So, for use in Trex, do not cut to full depth to avoid the tapered top. With Trex you need the full top to match the Trex.

Works great. Perfect match to normal countersink bit for #8 screws. Im actually mostly using this cutter to cut plugs all the way through 1/4 Baltic Birch plywood which creates a nice match to plug countersunk screw holes in thicker Baltic Birch plywood. With face side of source board pointed down on sacrificial board and drill press set to just touch the sacrificial base board, the plugs spin out nicely. (Im too lazy to cut plugs partially into the source board then chisel or trim them out, plus that probably wouldnt work well for plywood anyway).

Works great easily can be sharpened

Had a product like this years ago and it worked very well but it disappeared. Bought this product to cut plugs out of 1/8 poplar. Even though this product looks exactly like my old cutter, it does not perform anywhere near as well. Using the slowest speed on my drill press and not forcing the cut, the product still overheated and produce a raggedy looking plug.

This tool arrived promptly, and in good condition. It does an excellent job at what it was intended to do.
