Q: What size hole do these plug cutters fit?

These Snappy cutters produce a tapered plug designed to wedge tightly into the matching bore. Cut your counterbore with a coordinating bit and the chamfered-nose plug starts easily into the hole. Browse our drilling & boring tools for matching bits.

Q: Do I need glue to install the plugs?

No. Because the plug is tapered , it wedges into the bore for a tight fit with no glue needed, though many woodworkers still add a small amount of glue for permanent installations.

Q: Can I use these in a handheld drill?

No. These plug cutters are for use in a drill press only , with the board clamped to the table. This keeps the cut accurate and the operation safe. See our clamping tools for securing your stock.

Q: What is the recommended speed for these cutters?

The recommended maximum speed is 750 RPM . Running at or below this speed produces a smooth cut and helps prevent burning or chipping.

Q: What makes the cut so smooth?

Each of the four flutes is ground with four precision-milled angles , which produce a smooth cut and a consistent, tight-fitting taper from plug to plug.

Q: Are these cutters durable?

Yes. They are thru-hardened to provide excellent wear resistance and a long cutting life, so they hold up to repeated use.

Q: What type of shank do they have?

They feature a hex-shaped shank for positive control and a secure grip in the drill chuck, reducing slippage during the cut.
