Separating Wood Plugs A plug cutter used on the drill press will cut wooden plugs for filling counterbored screw holes. However, after drilling the plugs in a strip of scrap, it's necessary to cut them free. The time-honored trick here is to apply a strip of tape to the heads of the plugs before sawing them free on the band saw or table saw. However, I've found that the separated plugs often don't stick to the strip of tape after the cut, and instead fly off the saw table into some mess on the shop floor. I've discovered that a better approach is to drill a row of plugs right near the edge of the scrap, so that the cutter intersects the edge. That way, each plug can easily be cut free with a chisel as needed.

It works particularly well for pieces too long to fit between bench dogs. I've found that a handscrew with 8" jaws generally suits my work. Depending on your vise and workpiece, a larger or smaller hand-screw might serve you better.
