Hello,
I'm intalling some 4" x .75" plank flooring in purple heart and was wondering if anyone know where I can find counterbore plugs for the screw holes. I've been scouring the internet and unable to come up with a source. -Chung |

The only way to get face grained plugs is to use a plug cutter.
If your floor is nly 4" wide, why are you screwing it through the face??? there are better ways to install the flooring that will hide the fasteners i.e blind nailing, blind screwing. If you are set upon using screws through the face of the wood, you will need to get a drill press (a cheap one from HD will do) and then get quite a few plug cutters. Also, anytime you work with Purple heart, cutting, machining, any tool, it will dull very quickly and the blade/cutter will get gummed up. Clean tools and blades often with Alchohol when working with purple heart. Get like ten plug cutters, they are cheap, and made with tool steel that purple heart likes to snack on. Rich |
