    HI,

    am finishing off an extension and am about to start skirting boards etc.
    and want to screw the boards onto the walls & to cover the screw up.

    Not a fan of hilti nails or "no more nails" etc and don't want to use wood filler.

    so,
    plug cutters - whats the difference in the two types available.
    Some sets have a plug cutter & a chamfered cutter ?? -whats the difference.

    instead of a set of cheap ones - what size single cutter & counter-bore will I get - and a good make so I will always have them.

    thx

    I bought a set of plug cutters a few years ago in I think Mcquillans, I can't remember if they were expensive or of a good brand name,I still have them though.They came in 3 sizes, I think the biggest fitted a 10 or 12 mil hole. The trick with them is to cut at a lowish speed, other wise the sides get jaggidy and then pop them out with a screw driver.I also have a chamfered set, one with drill pieces that cuts a recess and a guide hole and one that just cuts a recess. Both do the job. I think they can be found at most good tool suppliers.
