I ordered a 3/8" tapered plug cutter. On that day it arrived I was home from work for lunch and didn't have a lot of time. I cut a couple of quick plugs and found they didn't fit any better than my old plug cutter did. The plugs seemed too large and visually I could not see a taper. At first I was going to return it but when I had more time to look at the cutter I realized that you have to drill the plugs deeper than I was and the taper is on the very top. There could have been some instructions that said that. Now I am very happy with my purchase and I have used it a lot.

I bought the 3/8 cutter, it worked "slick". I used my brench press to make the plugs and they fit perfectly into the holes. Had to make 78 of them for my cedar glider love seat and had no problems with doing that many.

The plugs were a little hard to start but hammered in just right for finish sanding. A novice like I am should realize that the plugs should be drilled in a drill press as some wobbling will occur at the start.

I have tried the product and it did what I had expected it to do. I have not completed the project that I wanted to use it on, but so far it is doing the job.

This is the first item from Rockler that I've ever had to return. Plugs were too large for 1/2" hole that was cut with a new Forstner bit. Even with edge sanding and hammering, they were difficult to get into the holes. Also, cut was not as clean as I would have expected. Exchanged this item for 38614 which, hopefully, will work better.
