Tips
• For the best color and grain match, use scrap from your project
for plug blanks. If possible, cut blanks from the same board used
to create the project part being plugged
• To align an area on the plug blank that is a good match for the
area surrounding the pocket hole, make a pencil mark on the top
end of the plug blank. Then align the mark with the bit guide.
• To reduce heat buildup in the bit and bit guide, improve cut
quality, and extend bit life, use the Kreg Jig
®
dust collection
port connected to a shop vacuum.

• To reduce chip-out in your plugs, pay attention to grain geometry.
*Plugs cut from blanks with growth rings more parallel to the blank
faces (viewed from the end of the blank) tend to have less chip-out.
**Plugs cut from blanks with growth rings intersecting the blank faces
closer to perpendicular (viewed from the end of the blank) tend to
have more chip-out.
• To improve plug quality, slow your feed rate, especially at the
beginning of the drilling stroke when there is little resistance.
