I have seen the plugs for sale but never the cutter.

Hi Paul,

Welcome to the forum.

I have some plug cutters that I use to make cross grain plugs, for normal counter bored screws. For pocket hole plugs you need a wedge shaped dowel, I agree with Gary, I have seen the plugs but never a cutter, no doubt someone will be along with a link to prove us wrong. :-k

Hi Rod,

That is the sort of thing I have but not Disston, mine are Screwfix.
What Paul is looking for is something to make these:

Well the wooden one at least.

I think that if you have the correct size dowel you could make a custom mitre box to saw it off at the correct angle. :-k

no Harbo thats not it Im afraid the one Im thinking of is longer you use it to make cuts from end grain thus giving a nearly invisible plug when sawn off & sanded
