05J0550 - Set of 3 Metric Veritas Snug-Plug Cutters (6mm, 8mm, 10mm)
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 (6mm, 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 6mm, 8mm and 10mm cutters.
Patented. Resharpening instructions included.
The set includes 6mm, 8mm and 10mm cutters.
Tap the plug into the hole until you meet resistance, then cut off the excess. The taper makes the plug seat tightly, leaving a nearly invisible line between the plug and the workpiece.
Runout in a drill-press quill cuts holes oversize and plugs undersize. Flaring the plug at a 3° included angle past the first 1/8" takes up that difference.
Yes, provided the chuck accepts a 3/8" shank, which is what all three cutters have.
