Do you believe it is best to bottom out the plug in the hole or to drive it in to a depth a bit short of the bottom of the hole? Also, does the style of plug cutter you show here work well in a hand drill, as opposed to a drill press? The type of plug cutters I have traditionally used are best suited for use in a press, making them a bit less convenient when they are needed for a jobsite installation. Thank you.

Hi Michael, thanks for subscribing. I believe that it's best to knock the plug all the way in. I don't like the idea of having a gap/air bubble under the plug which could cause the plug to move as the bubble expands or contracts. This plug cutter can be easily used in a hand held drill as I'm doing here in the video. That's what makes it so practical. And yes, that's a bit tricky with other plug cutters which tend to travel on the workpiece when you use them in a hand held drill.
