Etsy Propagation and Spice Tube Racks
Produce countertop and wall-mounted racks drilled with 1-inch holes for 25 mm glass tubes (plants or spices). Offer custom lengths, wood species, and engraving. The quick-change 1/4 in hex shank and integrated pilot bit enable efficient small-batch runs with consistent spacing using simple jigs.
Custom Coin/Cap Display Boards
Sell personalized boards (state maps, stadium outlines, wedding dates) with 1-inch insets for quarters or bottle caps. Include optional liners and hanging hardware. The Turbo-Teeth geometry yields clean holes in birch ply for minimal sanding, keeping margins healthy at craft fairs and online.
Event Donut Walls and Retail Peg Panels
Build rentable donut walls and retail display panels using grids of 1-inch holes to accept 1-inch dowel pegs. Offer branded backdrops and adjustable layouts. The integrated arbor speeds repetitive drilling, and enlarged slots reduce downtime clearing plugs during large panel production.
Desk Cable Pass-Through Blocks
Make small oak or walnut blocks with 1-inch holes and adhesive or screw mounts to route monitor and charger cables. Sell as desk accessories with finish options and logo laser-etching. The 1-7/8 in cutting depth handles thicker blocks, and the pilot bit ensures centered holes every time.
Handcrafted Bird Feeders with Port Options
Offer cedar bird feeders featuring 1-inch seed ports sized for various bird species, with add-ons like metal grommets and squirrel baffles. Sell locally and online; batch drilling with the hex-shank hole saw keeps production fast while maintaining clean, repeatable cuts for a professional look.

Test Tube Propagation Station
Drill a clean row of 1-inch through-holes in a hardwood plank to fit 25 mm glass test tubes for plant cuttings. Use the pilot bit to accurately space holes with a simple template and lightly chamfer edges for a finished look. Mount the board on a wall or stand it on a base; the enlarged chip-clearance slots make plug removal easy so production is quick.
Coin and Bottle Cap Display Board
Create a wall display with 1-inch holes sized for US quarters (24.26 mm) or 26 mm crown caps—add thin felt or cork liners for a snug press-fit. Lay out holes in maps, dates, or logos. The two-tooth geometry makes clean cuts in plywood or hardwood, and the plugs can be sanded into matching spacers or tokens.
Perforated Luminary Lantern
Drill a pattern of 1-inch holes into four 1x boards to form lantern sides that cast dotted light when an LED candle is inside. Vary hole spacing to create gradients or shapes. The 1-7/8 in cutting depth handles typical 3/4 in stock easily, and the hex shank speeds bit swaps if you alternate sizes for effect.
Modular Wall Peg System
Make a modern pegboard by drilling 1-inch holes in a grid on 3/4 in plywood to accept 1-inch dowels as pegs. Use the pilot bit and a spacing jig to keep lines straight. Add shelves that slip over the dowels for adjustable storage. Sand or slightly ease the holes for a smooth, snug fit.
Cedar Bird Feeder with Seed Ports
Build a hopper or tube-style feeder and drill 1-inch seed ports. Add short dowel perches below each port and staple mesh inside if needed for smaller seeds. The saw’s chip slots help clear waste quickly in resinous cedar, minimizing burning and speeding up repeat cuts.
