Plug cutters

[dickm]

Anyone know where I can get an 8mm (NOT No 8) plug cutter for occasional use? Over the years, have accumulated most sizes, except for 8mm, which was needed yesterday. There seem to be various cheap sets, which are probably the best solution, or single cutters for silly money. Anything else?

You will get the Veritas 8 mm tapered cutter off Amazon/Axminster for about £20. They are better than the Chinese bits but need a reasonably deep counterbore hole to sung up in the mid section of the plug. When you are feeling flush I'd suggest investing in a matching Wealden counterbore cutter and plug which are TCT tipped and last a lifetime.

I bought these a while ago Buy Montana Self Centering Plug Cutters - 3 Piece online at Rutlands.com

no regrets, they are great and can be used with a hand drill, I don't have a pillar drill.
