<DIV><FONT face=Arial>I find that most plug cutters produce tapered plugs -
which are of little value to me. I use tenon cutters - they will cut a
straight plug up to a couple inches long. The smallest I have and have ever
seen is 3/8".</FONT></DIV>

back on this please, I've done at least a dozen sets over the last year or 2
and keep wondering about a better way. I use a 1/4" splined hardwood dowel
for convenience more than anything. It works pretty well. Actually it worked
not bad on a set of Kawai keys recently that had a 3/8" hardwood cap for the
capstan. What I've been looking for is a good 1/4" plug cutter. I've got
good cutters but they start at 3/8 which is too big. I would think, pull out
the newly installed caps, re-plug with poplar and your good to go. Or, after
you re-plug, route for a 3/8 cap of something like poplar with grain running
fore and aft, I do a good counter sink on the holes. Carry on,
Buana.</FONT></DIV>
