Snappy Tools Plug Cutter, 3/4

I cut 10 plugs in 3/4 hard red oak flooring to plug some 3/4 holes in my floor. Max plug depth is about 0.50 with the cutter all the way down. Some burning of the oak can be seen in the pictures which I was unable to avoid with any speed or cut pressure. Best performance was at 450RPM and light feed pressure. These plugs were cut with a table saw at 0.47 long. The tool produces a tapered plug with a slight radius at the small end to aid in insertion. Small diameter is 0.742, large diameter is 0.762. This produced a good interference fit into a 0.75 hole. the tool seems well made and other than the slight burning, performed very well. For comparison, I cut a straight walled 0.745 plug using my CNC router and .125 bit. I ended up using the tapered plugs.

I used it to cut plugs and wanted side grain to match the door instead of a dowel with end grain and it shows up too easily. The oak plugs I made looked great. Now I have the 3/4 to go with the rest of the SNappy kit.

I only cut out two plugs and out of Pine but I drilled a hole in my project with a three-quarter inch Forstner bit cut the plug loose from my stock fit in very nice and tight very happy.

This fit my needs perfectly. I needed to replace a number of popped plugs in my floor. They fit the 3/4” holes smoothly, as opposed to the cheaper cutters that sometimes are too large or too small.

For that price I expected perfect plugs and they were not even close. Try to get a clean glue line with this your dreaming.

Remodeling our deck and I needed to plug some 3/4 holes left by the last railing. Used the same material that the deck was made of and this cutter cut EXACT size I needed. Realy like the taper. Makes the plug go into the hole easily and then snugs down to make a perfect fit.

I liked the sharpness, weight and durability of this excellent tool. I will buy more as needed.

I purchased this cutter to make plugs for a series of cutting boards I am making. The cutter performs admirably and gives a nice clean cuts but I have been through 2 of these cutter in about 4 months under light use. I have begun cutting only 3-4 at a time because heat build up seems to be the reason the first two failed. I am cutting Osage Orange and Walnut primarily, both hardwoods but not beyond what I would expect a cutting tool to be capable of.

Liked the ease of producing plugs.
