<p>Hi Lee .. this is timely for me. Today, I needed to plug a few 3/16" holes in an ebony bridge and couldn't find a plug cutter that size. I chucked a piece of ebony into my drill press, w/ correct grain orientation, used 80 grit then 220 grid sticky-back sand paper on a squared up board, and just ground it round to 3/16". Worked perfectly..</p>

<p>What are you using this for? I have several sizes and 3 different types of plug cutters. Most of them will cut a 2" to 3" plug and allow you to orient the grain however you want. </p>

<p>It's really simple - you get an open-end wrench that is the size of the dowel you need. You turn your piece close to the size you want, and then use the wrench to measure the size as you get down to the final diameter you want.</p>

<p>It really makes the job a whole lot easier. I had to turn some 1/2" plugs to fills some terrible tuning peg divots in an old banjo, and using the 1/2" wrench made it very easy to know when I was down to the exact diameter. You can use it when the lathe is turning - it won't catch, and won't go around until it's just right.</p> Hello again!

<p>Do you know the trick where you use an open-end wrench as a caliper when you turn a dowel? That has saved me a lot of time in the past. I saw a guy do that at the local wood-turning club during a good practical demonstration.</p>
