    Comments about 1/4-20 Brass Threaded Insert:

    These worked great in my practice piece of softwood, but when i tried to use them for a yellow birch tabletop, even with the special tool for installing them, the little tabs wanted to strip and break off before the inserts were all the way in. Eventually I had to use slightly bigger pilot holes than i wanted, but they still held fine and were easy to use once installed.

      Comments about 1/4-20 Brass Threaded Insert:

      I built a custom canoe back support, where the inserts allow easy installation and removal of two arms and a back band. They have functioned well with lots of use.

      It does take a couple of times to get installation down. Plan to practice a bit.

      Good luck with your application!
