L/W, a 5/8” plug cutter would have been a perfect solution. I need to get a set. I could have used a 1/4” cutter. I accidentally drilled a hole in one of my rack sides. I patched it with a dowel cutoff, knowing full well that it was going to look darker than the surrounding wood when I applied finish (but hoping that it wouldn’t look too bad). A face grain plug would have been invisible.
Do you own the HF cutters you linked? Are they any good, or are they good for one or two uses before needing to be replaced? Five bucks for a set seems cheap even for HF.
