Not too much left to sand if you do it right. 4
I had read the review below and was worried about getting these pegs to work with my project.

Well, I did figure out why the pegs don't always fit the hole very well - The pocket hole jig is adjustable to accomodate wood that is 3/4" thick up to 1 1/2" thick. This dramatically changes the depth of the hole. If your hole is drilled into 3/4" wood, the pegs do stick up quite a lot. They fit perfectly into a hole drilled into 1 1/2" thick wood.

The solution is really simple though - just trim the peg a bit before you put it in the hole. You don't have to cut the slanted end, just the nearly flat end that rests against the head of the screw. With a little experimenting, it is easy to eyeball the correct cut that will bring the peg into a reasonable sanding height. It isn't ideal and I'd much rather have pegs specifically designed for 3/4" stock but they certainly aren't impossible - it beats making the whole plug from scratch!

TOO much left to sand4
These plugs are almost perfect. The purpose of this plug is to cover up the somewhat unsightly hole left when creating a joint with the Kreg Pocket Jig. They only need to be used if the joint is made somewhere it can bee seen like the inside of a cabinet door when it is opened. I bought these for doors I was making on a linen closet out of oak. They worked nicely the only problem is they are a little on the big side and once they are installed in the hole and all glued in they protrude past the surface of the wood 3/16" to 1/4" and that is quite a bit of sanding to do if you have done a whole door or in my case four doors. That amounted to 32 plugs to sand. I just stood up the frames and set my table saw to a very close position and ran them through and was able to cut off the majority of the excess and then the sanding went pretty fast. This is a very dangerous way to do this and if the plugs were just smaller this step could be eliminated. I don't own a belt sander but it would be a safer way to do this but then you have the risk of gouging your joint and damaging it then you get to start over and why would you have to spend another $100 for a tool to knock down the excess plug. I am going to build more frames soon but they will all be getting painted not stained so I will be using wood filler instead of the plugs so no more close calls with the saw blade for me.

Kreg System5
I have been using this system for some time and these plugs just finish the joint off. Thanks Kreg.
ps: If you want to set off a joint ie: drawer- use a dark plug.
