it usually takes me about 5-6 passes with the vega and carbide cutter kit that i got from a member here. i would definitely recommend that upgrade, as the HSS only lasts about 20 plugs before it needs to be honed. you can get about 125 plugs for each side of each carbide cutter, and at only 15 bucks for each additional insert i think it is definitely worth it. i like to use lexan for templates. there is a great how-to on another web site, but i'm not sure if i am allowed to post that here. basically you use the vega to trace the pattern on to a piece of lexan, then cut and sand and you will have a great template that will last longer than wood.
