> 24 hourI purchased this cutter to make plugs for a series of cutting boards I am making. The cutter performs admirably and gives a nice clean cuts but I have been through 2 of these cutter in about 4 months under light use. I have begun cutting only 3-4 at a time because heat build up seems to be the reason the first two failed. I am cutting Osage Orange and Walnut primarily, both hardwoods but not beyond what I would expect a cutting tool to be capable of.

> 24 hourWorks pretty good, it is not tapered very much, but it is just enough. Have cut about 80 plugs so far and its finally acting dull, going to fine tune the cutting edges.

> 24 hourThis fit my needs perfectly. I needed to replace a number of popped plugs in my floor. They fit the 3/4” holes smoothly, as opposed to the cheaper cutters that sometimes are too large or too small.

> 24 hourRemodeling our deck and I needed to plug some 3/4 holes left by the last railing. Used the same material that the deck was made of and this cutter cut EXACT size I needed. Realy like the taper. Makes the plug go into the hole easily and then snugs down to make a perfect fit.

> 24 hourCuts at a .758. I use a 3/4 forstner bit on a drill press, so it is a perfect hole. I would prefer a little larger as it is possible to tap the plug too hard and push it below the surface, especially with soft wood, but I imagine all woodworking is about finite measurements and delicate operations. I tested first, so was aware of the diameter and hence measured with calipers. Once I was aware how close it was, I just ensured I left about 1/16 above the surface and routed with a flush bit. Perfection achieved.

> 24 hourThe tool cut a very nice plug. Only thing I didn’t like was the tool got hot quick.I expected it to be sharper.

> 24 hourI saw some other reviews saying that they broke this plug cutter but I cant imagine what they were trying to cut or do with it. I cut plugs out of red oak, an extremely hard wood, with no problem. This plug cutter is strong and sharp.

> 24 hourFor that price I expected perfect plugs and they were not even close. Try to get a clean glue line with this your dreaming.

> 24 hourDid exactly what I needed it to do. Which was cut a bunch of plugs for a wood floor. I used this and the smaller 3-pack. I highly recommend a drill press. I want to say you NEED a drill press, but I know some of you will be all, “this guy is an idiot, I did it freehand.” And maybe you did. The smaller ones you can get away with it, but even then you’re going to wander, and if you a have super smooth surface and plenty of material and time, then yeah. But this one, forget it. My only complaint is that it can’t quick change and I was drilling many different sizes.
