In-Store Exclusive

This one's worth the trip to the store.

Brands like Weber, Milwaukee, Yeti, and DeWalt restrict where their products can be sold online — and for good reason. In-store buyers get authentic products, full manufacturer warranty, and access to pricing that simply isn't allowed to be advertised on the web.

  • Authorized dealer network · Full manufacturer warranty & support
  • Guaranteed authentic · No counterfeits, no gray-market resellers
  • The brands set these standards · Be wary of sellers who don't follow them

Every order helps keep your local hardware store on the corner.

Why we built NHG
You might find it for less locally. Independent retailers often offer competitive pricing — some products are even cheaper in-store than online.
Real expert advice — not search results. Independent hardware staff know their inventory and the local conditions you're working in.
Keep the neighborhood working. Every dollar spent at an independent retailer returns roughly 3x more to your local economy than at a national chain.

About Product Overview

Introducing the Kreg Steel Custom Plug Cutting Bit—the durable, steel-built tool designed to create flawless wood plugs that hide screws and joints in furniture, cabinetry, and built-ins. Engineered for routers with a 3/8" shank, this bit delivers consistent cuts you can trust from first pass to finish.

  • Material and durability: Solid steel construction for rigidity, edge retention, and long life through hardwoods and softwoods alike.
  • Shank diameter: 3/8" shank ensures compatibility with the majority of standard routers and collets.
  • Product format: Sold as a single plug-cutting bit, packaged in a protective clamshell for easy storage and transport.
  • Designed purpose: Specifically optimized for creating custom plugs that match your material, grain direction, and color—ideal when you need plugs that disappear into the workpiece.

Use cases and benefits

  • Hide pocket hole screws and repair hardware on tabletops, cabinets, doors, and frames with plugs that blend into the surrounding wood.
  • Fill knot holes, dents, or blemishes by cutting plugs from matching stock, then trim and finish for a seamless repair.
  • Achieve a professional, one-piece look by selecting plug stock that mirrors your project’s species and grain pattern.

Practical tips for best results

  • Pair with the right plug stock and finish to ensure a natural transition—test on a scrap piece first to confirm color and grain alignment.
  • Use steady, shallow passes and a consistent feed rate to maintain a clean cut and minimize tear-out on difficult woods.
  • Secure the workpiece and use a router with a 3/8" collet to maximize control and plug accuracy.
  • After cutting, sand lightly and apply your chosen finish for a flawless blend with the surrounding surface.

Who this is for

  • Woodworkers and furniture builders who value clean repairs and professional-grade finishes.
  • DIY enthusiasts looking to hide hardware without visible plugs or mismatched grain.
  • Shop professionals seeking a reliable, durable plug cutter that stands up to regular use in hardwoods and softwoods.

Why choose the Kreg Steel Custom Plug Cutting Bit over generic options? It’s engineered specifically for plug creation with a sturdy steel body, a reliable 3/8" shank, and packaging that keeps the tool protected and ready for quick swaps in busy shop environments. When you want plugs that look like they were part of the original piece, this bit delivers the precise, clean results every time.

Their Counter
Try local first · we'll wait

The stores we send you to are local and independently run — often for generations, the kind of place where someone behind the counter knows the regulars. We don't own them. We just think they deserve the foot traffic. They can put most of what we sell on their next truck. Ask there before you check out here.

About our directory. National Hardware Group is an independent retailer and directory. The local stores we list and link to are separately owned and operated — we have no ownership stake in any of them, and most pay us nothing to be included. That includes plenty of stores flying a co-op banner that people don't realize are locally owned and run, not operated by a corporation. Store owners can choose to upgrade their listing for an enhanced presence or pickup features, but the base directory is free, and inclusion is never a paid endorsement.
