Snappy Tools Plug Cutter, 3/8

The style of cutter basically sucks and I dont even think this is a very good example of this style of cutter. The geometry in the sharpening are all wack plus I dont even think the material is that good. On the other hand I need a grand total of eight plugs And Im not a professional woodworker so odds are that Im not going to be let down by this thing too badly. Because I dont plan on using a lot.

cuts a good usable plug.

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.

This is a great plug cutter, perfectly sized.

Great results. The 3/8 size matches up perfectly with the hole left from the dewalt countersink bits. https://www.amazon.com/DEWALT-DW2535-Piece-Countersink-Assortment/dp/B0000225OU/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1494871473&sr=8-2&keywords=dewalt+countersink+bit

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

I would like it to cut a little longer plugs. But it does fine cutting 3/8” long plugs.

I cut about 100 plugs in southern yellow pine. Worked great and its still sharp.

Works great easily can be sharpened

I used the 3/8 plug cutter on cypress, which is a fairly soft wood. It left a good finish on the plug with no tearing which would have been a problem on soft wood had the tool not been sharp. I was unable to use the chamfering feature at the top of the tool, though, as the taper was too steep and if I cut too deeply with the tool the plug diameter would be too small for the hole I was plugging. All in all its a fine tool and should give me many years of service.
