A tapered plug cutter creates a slightly conical plug that wedges tightly into a counterbored hole, while a straight plug cutter produces a cylindrical plug ideal for longer, dowel-style fills.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChoosing between straight and tapered designs comes down to the joint type and depth.

Secure the workpiece firmly, run the cutter perpendicular to the grain of your plug stock, then snap the plug free with a screwdriver. Grain orientation in the plug should match the surrounding surface to minimize visibility after finishing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eStraight vs. Tapered Plug Cutters: Which Should You Choose?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTapered plug cutters are the most popular choice for face-frame cabinetry and furniture because the slight taper creates a mechanical lock in the hole, eliminating gaps. Straight cutters are better suited for long face-grain plugs and production work where speed matters.
