5/16-18 Steel Threaded Inserts

3607-STS

Item No: 3607-STS
 
 

Product Information

Installing solid brass threaded inserts in hardwoods like maple, white oak, or cherry, has always required experimentation to determine just the right pilot hole size to avoid folding over the external threads. The special threads on these solid steel inserts have a beefy cross section designed for use in hardwoods. Just drill the prescribed pilot hole, and with rare exception, the insert will screw right in. Drive these with a metric sized hex wrench, or the appropriately sized driver to install. Made in Germany.

          Comments about 5/16-18 Steel Threaded Inserts:

          My expensive dining room table set came with cheap inserts to bolt the legs on and soon they were all starting to break and strip out. These steel inserts went in tight and fixed the chairs far better than the original inserts. Price is better than others and shipping was cheap and fast.

                  Used these steel inserts to repair my swivel chair. The inserts were used to attach the bottom section to the chair seat. These inserts were much stronger than the original inserts which had broken.
