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.
Patented. Resharpening instructions included.

Runout in a drill-press quill makes holes oversize and plugs undersize. A plug that flares at a 3° included angle past the first 1/8" takes up that difference and seats with a nearly invisible line.
All the cutters have 3/8" shanks.
