Frequently Asked Questions

What speed should I run Trend plug cutters at?

For best results, run Trend plug cutters at slower speeds, typically between 500-1000 RPM depending on the timber species and cutter diameter. Slower speeds in hardwoods prevent burning and extend cutter life, whilst maintaining clean cuts.

Can Trend plug cutters be resharpened?

Yes, Trend plug cutters can be professionally resharpened to restore their cutting performance. However, with proper use and care, their premium steel construction provides exceptional longevity before resharpening becomes necessary.

What depth should plugs be cut?

Typically, plugs should be cut to approximately 10-12mm depth, providing sufficient material to stand proud of the surface initially, allowing you to trim and sand flush after the adhesive has cured for an invisible finish.
