Thought I'd share how I do it and maybe someone has a better way, but this works great for me.

I started with a piece of box tubing and drilled and tapped it 14mm x 1.25 for the plugs. Make the piece of tubing long enough so you can stand on it.

Screw the plugs in the holes, then use a 5/8" hole saw with no pilot in a cordless drill and drill until the ceramic part pulls out. quick and easy.

Hope this helps someone, thanks to Mr. Jackson for telling me.

Very cool. Thank you for sharing. That is a very convenient way to cut plugs.

That sure is neat. I use a cutoff wheel at the track. We have electric plug ups at one of our tracks.

I have also heard of putting the plug in a drill and running it up and down on a hacksaw blade.

This is how I've always done it

Drill against a blade is how I've always done it. On the dyno I have a porta-band so I can really get them cut off quick.

So I guess I will take a hit here and ask otherwise I won't learn.. Why do you cut them?

To make it much easier to see the fuel ring on the bottom of the tapered part of the porcelain. That tells you if the engine is rich, lean , or just right and people that mainly use nitrous do this. In this case the fuel ring is really dark so it needs fuel pulled from the nitrous tuneup.

Chuck the plug in a drill, use a 32 tooth hacksaw blade and let her eat. Very cheap and effective!

You can buy a electric cut off wheel at harbor freight for like 20 dollars that works wonders... sllices right thru the metal like butter and the cutting disc will not cut the porcelain

That's if you have electric at the track.......

Op. how long would you say it takes to cut 1 plug with the hole saw?

That is a slick idea.

Roger Blackmore

Op. I'm asking again, how long would you say it takes to cut one using your method. Ive had to start using a gasket seat plug, and it takes a lot longer to cut with a drill and hack saw. So I'm thinking about trying your method.
Thanks
Roger.

Ok. Thanks. I'll give it a try.
