Brands MB-65823 3 Piece Self-Centering Wood Plug Cutters

Excellent product. I have tested it with pine, walnut and sapelly, performed very well. be sure to dimple the wood before drilling.

So these are the best plug makers I have used - and I have used a lot. The thing that's really fabulous is that it puts a little hole the plug which allows you to immediately recognize which end is going to go into the screw hole without having to think about it. Brilliant. Worth the price of admission right there. Specially if you're putting 60 plugs in a rowAlthough they should wipe them clean from their manufacturing operation as they should not arrive dirty enough to soil ones hands by handling them. I cleaned them with a little solvent -- problem solved But we don't like oil near our wood work - thank you for making them

I’ve used other brands in the past for cutting plugs. I was in need of a 1/2” plug cutter for a window trim project that required a historical sill (only available in plastic from my local supply center). Being plastic, the cutter did a ok job of making the plugs, but I found that my countersunk holes had shrunk sense the install. So I had to sand down the leading edges a bit to get the plugs to go in. Honestly, I found nothing wrong with the cutters themselves, but nothing replaces a good drill press for cutting plugs. Just remember to keep your speed as low/slow as possible or you run the risk of burning the material you’re cutting plugs from.

American Made. Very nice plug cutters. Recommend.

These are okay but not great. not as sharp as they should be leaving a rough finish on the plugs

One neat feature about these relative to the last plug cutter I had was that the centering pin helps keep the cutter from wandering around as you start the cut. Without it, the teeth can grab the surface of the wood unevenly and shake it around a bit until you have a round groove cut to hold it in place.

Used on my composite deck and they worked perfectly

These are sharp but do get very hot on hard wood. I used a damp rag on the shaft to keep it cooler and avoid burning the wood.Had to use drill press to keep it stable. Don’t recommend handheld drill/driver.
