Snappy Tools Plug Cutter, 3/8

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.

First time using a plug cutter. I cut plugs from walnut, a fairly hard wood. Smoked a lot, so I would let up and go back, trying not to overheat the tool. It rounds of the end for easy insertion. Seems like a good price, I only needed 8 plugs, plan to use it more so time will tell. Would definitely recommend.

Pleased so far. Hope it performs for long time

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.

No es muy bueno y solo lo use una vez y es infuncional

Cuts Great

The first thing I noticed was the finish was rough and did not have the matte or semi-glossy sheen of other plug cutters I have had in the past (and the one thats pictured). There were little bits of white gradoo stuck in the crevices like it had not been cleaned before packing. I wonder if a final step in the manufacturing process had been skipped. When I went to use it in my drill press, it seemed to need a lot of force to work into the wood. It also squealed and chattered. I honed the cutting edges which seemed to help a little, but sometimes it cuts well and sometimes it chatters like crazy., not sure why. Im considering throwing it out and trying something else, but it does work, just obnoxiously, so I guess Ill use it for now.

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 bought this to cut mahogany plugs and all it did is burn the wood did not get one plug drilled - dont buy

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