   http://www.wlfuller.com/brands.html definitely has them as should Lee Valley. Start collecting catalogs. You should look at the links site at the home page. The links page at http://www.woodcentral.com is especially good.

   Not sure of the size but Lee Valley has a very nice tapered plug cutter; I have used several sizes and they are really nice. They taper on the sides rather than the typical parallel sided plug.

   Lee Valley has a 1" plug cutter, but it isn't tapered. http://www.leevalley.com/wood/page.aspx?c=1&p=42292&cat=1,180,42288

   As far as a countersink goes- I think you just mean a counterbore- for which you are going to have to do in two steps- 1st cut with a 1" brad point or forstner, then the 2nd hole to whatever size.

   Whatever would you need 1" sizes for?The older I get, the better I was....

   Check again. It is called the Veritas Snug Plug or something similar.

   Tapered plugs are only available in smaller sizes.

   http://www.wlfuller.com is one of the top drill bit companies for commercial use and they are pretty much the same for sizes. I do purchasing for a commercial company and start with Lee Valley for basic needs. Good prices and the quality is up there even if the stuff is made in China.

   I stand corrected; I had never needed anything larger than what they offered. Thanks!

   Thanks for the Lee Valley web site, that looks like something I might be able to use.  As to why I need something that large, I make furniture both inside and Pattio type.  Some of the swings have a 1" whole and as with all of my stuff I go the extra mile to plug and sand ALL areas, just one of the downfalls of a perfectionist.

   Thanks again for the web site
