Helpful Hint
- Sometimes wood plugs are difficult to get flush with your finished surface. It can also be difficult to complete the task without scaring the wood around the plug when using a chisel or saw.
- Try using a SHARP straight router bit. Make it flush with the base of the router. It cuts them quickly and cleanly.
Topics
-

Safety Note
- On machines: Make sure you have adequate room for both the in-feed and out-feed of your material.

- FYI: on the table saw in Lenox, it is just over 8 feet from the back of the blade to the vice at the far end of the table. Someone thought that one out.
