c. Slide the Plug Cutter Stop Collar (C) onto the Plug Cutter Bit (B) until

it rests on the bit shoulder. Tighten the Plug Cutter Stop Collar (C) set

Higher speeds will produce better quality pocket hole plugs, but also increase

the heat produced, so it may be necessary to adjust your production rate to

allow time for the bit to cool.
