Best Lee Valley Veritas Imperial Tapered Snug-Plug Cutter Sets

It is always difficult to fit plugs perfectly; any slight runout in your drill-press quill can make the holes oversize. Unfortunately, this runout will also make plugs undersize. The combination leads to ill-fitting plugs that are very noticeable in your finished work.

Snug-Plug cutters are designed to cut slightly tapered plugs; the first 1/8″ of the plug is the stated size (1/4″, 5/16″, etc.) and then flares out at a 3° included angle.

Unlike regular plug cutters, they also shave the plug sides as they cut, producing very smooth plugs. You just tap a plug into a hole until you meet resistance, then cut off the excess. You will then have a plug that fits perfectly, with a nearly invisible line between the plug and the workpiece.

These plug cutters are carefully reamed after hardening to ensure perfect concentricity. It is difficult to believe how nice a plugging job you can do until you actually use one. 3/8″ shanks.

The set of three includes 1/4″, 3/8″ and 1/2″ cutters. The set of five includes 1/4″, 5/16″, 3/8″, 7/16″ and 1/2″ cutters.
