Product Details
Knife thread inserts are designed for use in hard woods, such as oak, cherry, and maple, making them ideal for applications where assembly or disassembly could lead to thread erosion or stripping. These inserts utilize a proprietary external "knife" thread that slices into wood to provide superior holding power. Typical applications include furniture, cabinetry, partitions, and shipping containers. To install the insert, users simply drill a hole and thread the insert into place using a screwdriver, bolt/jam nut, or other drive tool. For particularly hard wood or if there is difficulty in ensuring the insert threads in straight, a drive tool with full thread engagement can be created for maximum control during installation.
