Starborn Smart-Bit Pro Plug System for Ipe

The Starborn Smart-Bit Pro Plug System for Ipe is an integrated two-part fastening system designed to create a professional, “plugged” finish on Ipe hardwood decks in a fraction of the time required by traditional methods.

Core System Components

• The system requires two separate purchases for a complete installation:
• Smart-Bit Pro Plug Tool for Wood: A specialized pre-drilling and countersinking tool that creates a hole perfectly sized for the system’s screws and plugs. It features a free-spinning stop collar with a rubber O-ring to prevent damage to the deck board’s surface.
• Plug & Fastener Kit for Ipe: A package containing face-grain Ipe wood plugs, Grade 316 stainless steel screws, star drive bits, and a specialized glue nozzle.

The system allows you to drill, screw, glue, and plug a single board in under 20 seconds.
