Product Overview
A store-bought dowel rarely matches the grain or color of a finished project. Cutting plugs from the same board lets a woodworker hide countersunk screws, patch small holes, or create decorative grain-matched details that blend into the work.
The set combines multiple plug-cutter profiles in a storage case. It is intended for wood and drill-press-style control, not metal or masonry. Cutter sizes and shank dimensions should be read from the tool markings and compared with the hole or counterbore before cutting the finished stock.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Why cut plugs from the same board? A: Matching wood gives the repair a closer grain and color than a generic dowel.
Q: Can these be used in metal? A: No. They are intended for wood.
Q: Will every plug be the exact nominal diameter? A: Wood movement and cutter tolerance matter, so test the cutter and receiving hole on scrap first.
