It is used to cut perfectly sized wooden plugs that are then used to fill counterbored holes in woodworking projects, providing a clean and seamless finish.
Yes, you will need a power drill and a compatible screwsink. For best performance and accuracy, a drill stand is also recommended.
To achieve a perfect grain match, use an offcut from the same piece of timber that you are plugging. Cut the plug from this offcut using the plug cutter.
This specific model, the Faithfull Plug Cutter, makes 16mm diameter plugs.
The plug cutter is designed to work with most standard power drills. However, for optimal accuracy and ease of use, it is highly recommended to use it in conjunction with a drill stand.
After each use, clean any wood dust or debris from the cutting edges. Store the plug cutter in a dry environment to prevent rust and maintain its sharpness.
Ensure the drill is held at a perfect 90-degree angle to the wood. Check that the cutting edges of the plug cutter are sharp and free from debris. Using a drill stand is highly recommended for consistent results.
Verify that you are using the correct plug cutter size (16mm in this case) and that it is compatible with the screwsink used to prepare the hole. Ensure the drill is not wobbling during operation, which can be mitigated by using a drill stand.
Gently pry the plug out with a thin blade or screwdriver. Ensure the wood is not too damp, as this can cause it to swell and stick.
To set up the Faithfull 16mm Plug Cutter, insert it into your power drill chuck. For optimal results and safety, it is recommended to mount your power drill in a drill stand. Align the plug cutter precisely over the area where you intend to cut the plug. Ensure the drill is held vertically. Use an offcut of the timber you wish to plug, and use the same screwsink that created the counterbored hole to achieve an accurate fit. The plug cutter is compatible with most standard power drills when used in a drill stand. To care for the plug cutter, after use, clear any wood debris from the cutting edges. Store in a dry place to prevent rust and maintain sharpness.
