One 8mm tapered Plug Cutter

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 1/8inch of the plug is the stated size (1/4inch; 5/16inch; etc.) and then flares out at a 3 degrees 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.

3/8inch shanks.
