The Best Way to Install Threaded Inserts!

[ah]

Very interesting though some people claim that the slots are not for driving the insert with screw-driver or your tool, but they should in fact face downward in installation as they are meant to cut into the wood.

[alexhumek]

do you offer a kit with different sizes and some of each corresponding size of insert?

What system is this? I’ve used EZ-Lok but have found they are incredibly easy to get stuck over torquing as they’re threaded. EZ doesn’t seem to be their strong suit. These look like they’re not and go on fairly simply

Excellent video. Is there any need to use a drill press to “square” it up? Clearly you used a standard handheld driver, but I’m curious about a press for larger numbers of inserts/ multiple inserts per surface to be joined. Thanks

If you use the right-sized drill bit, a little bit of paste wax and a large screwdriver they should seat very easily. Not special tool or jig needed.

Also wondering what the brand is and where to buy.

But... this doesn't solve the perpendicularity problem...
