Q: What sizes of plug cutters are included in this set?

05K3602 - Veritas Double Flush-Cut Saw & Set of 3 Imperial Snug-Plug Cutters
We offer our set of three Snug-Plug cutters (1/4", 3/8", 1/2") with our double-edge flush-cutting saw at a discount.
It is always difficult to fit plugs perfectly; any slight runout in the drill-press quill can make holes oversize, while also making plugs undersize. Snug-Plug cutters form slightly tapered plugs; the first 1/8" of the plug is the stated size, and the rest flares at a 3° angle. Unlike regular plug cutters, they shave the plug sides as they cut, making very smooth plugs. Just tap a plug into a hole until you meet resistance, then trim the excess. The plug fits perfectly, with a nearly invisible line between plug and workpiece. The cutters are carefully reamed after hardening for perfect concentricity. 3/8" shanks. Patented. Resharpening instructions included.
The saw has a thin, flexible 22 tpi blade that can be pressed flat against a surface, cutting the projection flush. It has teeth set to one side only, so it won’t damage the surrounding or adjoining face. The Japanese tooth-pattern blade cuts aggressively from either side on the pull stroke. The saw is about 11 1/2" long with a 4 3/4" blade.
This set will quickly become indispensable in the shop.

Snug-Plug cutters form slightly tapered plugs that flare at a 3° angle after the first 1/8". They also shave the plug sides as they cut, making very smooth plugs. You tap a plug into a hole until you meet resistance, giving a tight, nearly invisible seam between plug and workpiece.
The saw is for trimming the plug flush with the surface after it has been glued in place. Its thin, flexible 22 tpi blade can be pressed flat against the workpiece, and because the teeth are set to one side only, it trims the projection without marking the adjacent face.
Yes – resharpening instructions are included with the set. The cutters are carefully reamed after hardening to maintain concentricity, and they can be resharpened to restore cutting performance.
All three cutters have 3/8" shanks, compatible with standard drill press and handheld drill chucks.
