excellent presentation, easy to use. I have one and now I can also use it. Thanks
Thankyou for the kind words and I’m very happy to hear that 😊👍
I had bought one of these jigs and was wondering how to fit the wood into the chuck. Lo and behold you pop up!
Great video, clearly presented and explained. Thank you and subscribed.
Haha glad it helped and glad I wasn’t the only one wondering these things 😅 let me know if you need to tweak the tightening of the bolts to get a good fitting dowel 👍
Great video very informative ❤ i use a plug cutter for fine work
Thanks 😊🙏
I tried ash and had it milled to 7/16(11mm) x 7/16, I had to start with the 12mm opening and work it down to 10mm and 9mm which is what I wanted. They were (71mm) 28 inches in length and would oscillate and break off so it's best to keep them shorter in length.
Really well presented…..appreciate your work.
Thank you for the kind words, glad you like it 🙏
I got one from Banggood for when I need the long length of dowel.
Once set up they aren’t bad right?
Great video! I don't have a dowel cutter, but have needed a plug cutter for past projects. Which plug cutter set are you using?
I might be wrong, but I thought the plugs and dowels were for different uses and not always interchangeable. I would use the plug where it can be seen, and hopefully with matching wood and grain pattern. I would use the dowel where it can't be seen, such as joining wood together. However, I take your point about making a long dowel and cutting it into smaller sections for use as plugs.
Yeah they usually are but sometimes you have to improvise 😅 I have a no brand generic set of plug cutters because they offer a nice selection of sizes. I am always on the look out for a better set but those like Veritas are limited in size selection I believe
