We demonstrate how to cover screw heads with wood plugs. You can make custom wood plugs to match any wood species using simple wood plug cutters. Get Tapered Plug Cutters: www.rockler.com/hex-shank-tape...
I've watched 100s of wood working videos of all types and I can honestly say this man does the best. He simplifies things and gets the best outcome possible in the process. Einstein once said, if you can teach the subject to a 5 year old then you truly understand your subject... !
We use plug cutters on all our furniture builds. We then flip the timber onto its side and run it through the table saw, plugs all pop out clean as a whistle. Free tip there folks lol
MANY THANKS THE BRASS PLATE IS A GREAT SIMPLE IDEA I CUT PLUGS WITH DEWALT MULTI TOOL AND IT DIGS INTO THE FACE WOOD SLIGHTLY. pLAYING CARDS ALSO SOUND LIKE A GOOD IDEA FROM sHANNON SCHISLER
We use plugs all the time in our workshop. The only thing we do differently after cutting the plugs is, take the wood to the table saw, set the fence and blade depth and run the timber through on its side. All the plugs fall out on the away side, nice and clean.
Pine is easy. Do you have any tips for cutting plugs in a hardwood like Aussie Blackbutt? I can’t stop the cutter from overheating and charring the sides of the plug.
if i'm turning on a lathe and don't feel like turning down to size, measuring, turning, measuring... etc... could i set this up in a lathe chuck and, say, add a tenon to the end of a pen blank?

My 1/4" Snappy plug cutter is not releasing the plug but is breaking them off. They are stuck inside the cutter and are very difficult to remove. What is the best way to address this?
If the wood plugs are breaking off regularly and not just occasionally, try setting your drill press's drilling depth more shallow than it is now. It could be that the Snappy Cutters are bottoming out on the wood's surface, pushing too hard and breaking off the plugs. This is also why they're sticking inside--too much compression during the drilling/cutting process.
@@rockler Thanks, this worked! I was doing this because the directions stressed that the final bevel was put on the plug only when the cutter was completely engaged into the stock.
Hello. I can help. They give the same generic response to every question. What are you cutting into? Do you need the depth to be 3 inches? Or the diameter to be 3 inches? Also are you trying to save the cut out? What material are you cutting into? If its drywall you need a 3 inch hole saw. Of you need 3 inch depth look up tenon/plug cutter.
