I don't use that brand of dup. but I would suggest you save a 1/16 for the final pass so you get a nice smooth finish and less tear out and less sanding. If I am doing a bunch of plugs I rough all the plugs out to a 1/16 of finish size and take them out. Then I put them all back in and take my final pass. That is how I do everything at my job and find it works good in the wood too. I will also use a worn insert to rough all the plugs out and put in a sharp insert to do the finish passes. I am not a purist in wood turning and make my template first and then adjust the template to fit what I am looking for in the plug. Unless you are good at sharpening tools I would definetly suggest the carbide insert. P.
