Snappy Tools Plug Cutter, 3/8

It cur perfect smooth plugs....would highly recommend it.

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.

Works great and love the 4 blades which gives you a faster and cleaner plug!

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

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

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.

This thing just chews up wood. Plugs are not the advertised dimension or even useable.

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

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.
