Brass Plated Threaded Inserts - Pack of 10

Brass Plated Threaded Inserts - Pack of 10

These threaded inserts are hollow steel (brass plated) cylinders with large wood-screw threads on the outside and machine-screw threads on the inside. They provide an extremely strong and reliable way to join wood for easy disassembly. Unlike more commonly available T-nuts, these inserts can be used in blind-stopped holes, leaving visible surfaces unmarred.

Drill a hole in the appropriate size, then use a matching internal sized threaded bolt with two stop nuts as a homemade insert wrench, or use one of our Threaded Insert Wrenches to drive the insert into the wood. A little wax soap on the external threads makes installation easier. Internal threads are standard coarse count for stove bolts, machine screws, carriage bolts and threaded rod.

Please note that these inserts do NOT have a slot hole for a screwdriver blade and thus cannot be easily unscrewed from the mounting hole.

Sold in packs of 10.

You may wish to alter the pilot-hole size slightly to compensate for species of wood, drill bit diameter variances, and run-out on your drill chuck. We suggest you first drill a test hole in scrap to verify the most appropriate sized pilot-hole to use.
