KREG Plug Cutter meets the requirements, thanks

KREG Custom Plug Cutter is great. I've been working with Tik and I needed plugs but they weren't there until the plug cutter came along. Works perfectly.

Pros
  • Brings joy
Cons
  • Was damaged

I have most Kreg tools but this one is disappointing

I love Kreg products but I feel like Nickle and Dimeing! After purchasing the HD kit, screws and cork cutter, I now have to spend $70 on another mount. Looking for a $100+ upgrade to HD footage? I mean it's 90% plastic.

Pros
  • Pleasant to use
Cons
  • Ugly packaging

Use this if you don't have a dowel that matches the wood

Based on what I've learned with this tool, I'd probably prefer to use a dowel that matches the blank I'm making Manufacture of the dowel use . screw bag. The cutter does an excellent job of making the end cap long enough to allow the rough edges to be trimmed away after installation.

Pros
  • Sturdy finish
Cons
  • Nothing here

Terrible blow. Vomit every time

Terrible vomiting. 1 of 50 usable ports. They are also about 1/2 shorter. Walk very freely, everything around you is bad. I have Kreg tools from Foreman, K3, Cross Cut etc. High quality. But it is a failure! HD does not use blind hole plugs. This is also an N problem. Look at the 1/2 dowel in the blind hole plug. Or a similar Google term, much easier and cheaper!

Pros
  • The best
Cons
  • You could choose a newer model

End Cap Cutter

I have only carved end caps from red oak so far and it is a difficult process. Bits that come into contact with wood break out are problematic. This helps get the bit running as fast as possible and feeding it SLOWLY. My success rate at clearing good jams is only 50-60%. So far I have not cut any other types of wood. I use shaker style end caps on the back of the doors and this gives me some latitude in terms of looks.

Pros
  • Consistent test results
Cons
  • Nothing
