Snappy Tools Plug Cutter, 3/8

This is a great plug cutter, perfectly sized.

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 as advertise

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

Worked perfectly for what it was designed to do.

Works best in a drill press, it has a tendency to tear out some fibers from the plug so you will end up with a few trash plugs, overall not bad but could definetly be improved

Suggest limiting use to a drill press for stability. Plugs are nice to use but the counter sink depth needs to be more significant than a non-chamfered plug. Wood thickness could cause minor limitation in applications.

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.

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.

The plug is exactly the correct size. I have found that I need to cut the plug quickly to help the cutter not to burn the wood (walnut at the moment).
