Product Details
Cut your own wood plugs with Fuller Plug Cutters. WL Fuller's carbon steel plug cutters are heat treat and hardened for long life and clean cuts. Four bladed plug cutters do not eject plugs; it remains on the board and can be broken out with a screwdriver or sawed free. Suitable for both Softwood and most Hardwoods.
Using wood plugs is a great way to eliminate nail holes and marks in wood. Wood putty simply does not look as good over time, nor does it seal as well. Using a glued wood plug ensures the best possible seal and appearance with long term durability. One more tip: For best results, use plug cutters in a drill press if possible.
Info & Guides
Standard plug cutter suitable for both soft and most hardwoods. Plug diameter is slightly larger than the standard counterbore size ensuring a tight fit every time.

WL Fuller makes quality kit!
3 years ago
When you want a precision part, you need a precision cutter. I have learned that WL Fuller makes that kind of kit. Super sharp. The cutter is exactly what it says on the tin. Every single component I get from them is frankly awesome. They stand behind what they make and are quite approachable. WL Fuller has my business and will retain it.

Did the job
10 years ago
This item worked just fine for cutting a few plugs from a piece of ash. The plugs seemed a little smaller than the corresponding holes. That might have been due to the plug cutter, runout in my drill press, the size of the drill use used for the hole, or the fact that I had to drill the holes with a handheld drill. So, size of the plug cutter may well be accurate. Packaging for the product was nothing special (a zip-lock baggie), but the cutter did come with a rubber cap to keep the blades sharp while in storage.

I ordered this product and it is apparently on backorder. No communications at all from JD. When I called, I was told that would hear back on the disposition of my order but have heard nothing.

Best Product on the Market
11 years ago
I used to build wooden boats professionally and we only used Fuller bits, countersinks and plug cutters in our shop. These plug cutters saw heavy use for all our projects in both soft and hardwoods and lasted for months without having to be sharpened or replaced. A little pricier than competitor products but worth every penny.

Good Value, But One Issue
12 years ago
Tapered plug cutters I bought from Lee Valley seem to have just the right diameter - tapered such that the diameter matching the correpsonding size hole is reached before the top of the plug. This one from Fuller seems to produce plugs where the diameter matching the hole is at the top of the plug, generally resulting in the plug seating below flush with the surrounding surface.

Q: Do you have a plug cutter that will cut a 3/4 inch plug?
4 years ago2 Answers
A: The largest I've used is a 1/2"". In the 30 years I've been doing this somewhat seriously I've never seen a plug cutter that large. When I need a ""plug"" that large I just use a dowel, counter sink the screw head with a Forster bit an cut the dowel to needed length. Not sure if this helps but good luck. Geary

Q: Hi could you please tell if the finished plug with the 1/ 1/2 inch plug cutter cuts a one and a half inches plug and is the finish cut clean at the end grain.
7 years ago1 Answer
A: Yes a 1 1/2"" plug cutter will cut a clean 1 1/2"" plug with a sharp cutter.

Q: I need to plug some 1__quote__ holes. Would I use the 1 in plug cutter or something a bit bigger?
8 years ago3 Answers
A: you would use the one for 1 inch plug diameter. Note that the shaft diameter for this plug is 1/2 inch so your chuck will have to accept this size diameter shaft.

Q: I don't have a drill press, but need some plugs cut for hardwood fillers. What about using a plunge router and a collett adapter (only see 1/4__quote__ shanks)?
9 years ago5 Answers
A: Router spindle speeds are generally too high to safely use plug cutters.

Q: How thick of plug will this cut? I need one that will cut a 2 inch thick plug with a diameter of 2 and 1/8 inches.
10 years ago4 Answers
A: I doubt that this cutter will make a plug that thick or of that diameter. I think the best thing in your case would be to find someone with a lathe to turn a piece of wood down OR buy a large dowel and cut a 2__quote__ section. There are large plug kits available at some marine supply shops possibly at Jamestown Distributors but I'm not sure that they would come in the size you need.

Q: how long are the plugs?
10 years ago4 Answers
A: If you push the cutter all the way down, the plugs are about 5/8__quote__ long. This is generally longer than any hole that needs tone filled. The plugs are slightly tapered too, so they will generally not go in to a properly sized hole more that about 1/4__quote__. I have a set of basic cutters, and also the Fuller but and cutter set. < a href=__quote__http://www.jamestowndistributors.com/userportal/show_product.do?pid=2800&familyName=Fuller+Countersink++Set+%238__quote__ target=__quote___blank__quote__>http://www.jamestowndistributors.com/userportal/show_product.do?pid=2800&familyName=Fuller+Countersink++Set+%238< /a> The fuller cutters are a little better since they have a more defined taper, and more importantly, they radius the smaller end of the plug, so it is easier to start into the hole.

Q: If the hole is 1 1/8__quote__ what would the plug cutter be? Thanks Jeff
13 years ago6 Answers
A: FOr a 1 1/8 hole I would use a forester bit. A hole saw will tear up the edge of the hole. You can get large cutters individually. The largest I have used is about 1 1/2__quote__. It wasn't clear if you were planning to do this, but don't use the cutter to cut a hole. The thickness of the cutters varies a lot and you probably will not find one with the right size. In addition the cutter (especially the big ones) MUST be used in a drill press. Used in a hand drill they will jump all over the place and tear up the wood.
