Are Rampa Threaded Inserts for Wood the Best Yet?

[@bobsacamano1274]

Far and away THE BEST video on nut inserts, particularly on the Rampa brand, I’ve watched. Well done sir.

[@DirtFarmerJay]

Thanks! I appreciate that. Best, DFJ

[@teresagriffin]

Thank you! My table leg never had two inserts. Of course Macy’s assembled never telling us. My husband passed so I moved, table was in storage…I decided to repurpose it to match new floors, etc. I was able to get inserts but didn’t know How to install into the table leg. Thanks to you, I know what to do!

[@DirtFarmerJay]

Excellent. Glad to be of help.

[@brianhillis3701]

Really will simplify constructing stuff. Look forward to using it on the backside of vinyl to keep it free of penetrations.

[@davidfuller764]

Parts that work!!! Thanks!

[@DirtFarmerJay]

Yes, indeed!

[@andyyenlinlee5193]

Thanks to this video, now I can modify some of those Ikea foldable table as workbench. Such insert are easy to work with and with simple tools can modify multiple items. Great video!

[@DirtFarmerJay]

I'm glad you found it to be helpful! Thanks for writing, and good luck on your project. Best, DFJ

[@altpath]

Those are really cool, I've never liked the old type because of the specialized tool needed.

[@DirtFarmerJay]

@altpath - these are really smooth to install. I think you'll like them! Best, DFJ

[@Johnny5sWorld]

Just curious if there is any pull strength details you can share? I have a 3/4 piece of hardwood as a panel covering the entire floor of the bed of my truck and have been looking for a solution to use an insert to hold a mobile fridge to the panel. The fridge loaded weighs about 50lbs fully loaded and has a 6 bolt plate that could be used to fasten it down. With this vehicle being used for off-roading I wonder if these inserts could stand up to the challenge?

[@ryanjuarez6908]

How well do these work on softwoods? I’m making a knockdown style montessori bed for my granddaughter. I’m using a softwood because my daughter wants to paint it.

[@rampatec7124]

They work great in all types of wood.

[@BastHoen]

Great video, thanks!

[@DirtFarmerJay]

Glad you liked it!

[@JeffDM]

Looks exciting. I tried to order some. I figured out the model I want, and found their web site marks it as out of stock. Their web store didn't seem to stock any variation I checked. I sent an email to the address the pages say when it's out of stock and the CSR said it's in stock but the web store doesn't show it. OK so they have it but they can't be bothered to update the web store inventory status.

[@JeffDM]

I guess I was supposed to call to order. When I realized they didn't make the SKD style I want in M3 thread I went with EZ-Lock. I can actually order EZ-Lok from a few different stores online.

[@gerzhoy]

Great video. Rampa makes inserts in varying lengths. I've seen 15mm and 18mm as well as other sizes. For a 6/4 walnut slab, what's the maximum insert length you would recommend?

[@DirtFarmerJay]

Gene, good to hear from you. I'd use the 18mm length for maximum "bite". The configuration of the insert will allow you to drive the insert of that length into the slap without camming or causing other issues. Let me know how it turns out! Best, DFJ

[@paxtonc]

Just priced M5 stainless 30mm in length, only available in 250 count package; it was sold out, but the quoted price, and I'm not kidding, is $74,409.99 or $297.64 per insert. Shipping is extra. That's one fancy insert.

[@DirtFarmerJay]

paxtonc - something is off. I'll contact Rampa and see what the issue is. There is something clearly wrong. Thanks for calling it to my attention. I'll get back to you. The inserts are really good, and the economics are WAY better than that! Stand by. Best, DFJ

[@mrgreen6221]

I had similar. Ridiculous price for a few inserts. €70+ and that's before taxes and 'handling fee'. That's a NO from me on this.

[@sandywjo5]

Great video! I can use these for a wood project, but also have a METAL tabletop I would like to screw legs into. Do they make these that will install into a steel top too?

[@HeliRy]

These look great. Just wish they made a non-coated option for those of us that need plain old stainless steel.

[@rampatec7124]

Glad you like our products, we do have some stainless steel options in a similar style available in metric. Happy to send details 👍

[@dengueberries]

When using threaded inserts, is there a minimum width of the table top I need ? I'm trying to figure out how to best attach wooden legs to a thin-ish pine slab or board that is 18 mm or maybe 27 mm thick, for a low table / coffee table. I absolutely do not want to use apron rail.

[@rampatec7124]

It can vary by wood type but typically we would like at least 3/4" to work with but we do have options available for materials as thin as 8mm

[@markwisniewski8141]

Just ordered

[@DirtFarmerJay]

Excellent!

[@kokia31]

is there any threaded insert with left hand thread (inner thread) available?

[@DirtFarmerJay]

This might be what you are looking for: www.mcmaster.com/left-hand-threaded-inserts/

[@rampatec7124]

There is, our SKDL style is left-handed.

[@jeffa847]

I only see metric sized ones on the website. The website doesn't seem to work very well

[@DirtFarmerJay]

Jeff, thanks for letting me know. I need to talk to the Rampa representative and let him know. I heard a similar complaint recently. Best, DFJ

[@Stevechristian-kx1iq]

I went to order these inserts with your 7% coupon codes and the message I got back was that the voucer has expired I entered it a number of differant ways.

[@DirtFarmerJay]

Steve, indeed, the promotion was for a limited time and has expired - even so, I think these inserts are worth it! Best, DFJ

[@anthixious]

For anyone that can give insight, how about one bolt/screw going through 2 threaded inserts? I'm planning a project, and using wood slabs that will be 2 inches thick. What would happen if I use one bolt to attach those pieces of wood such that the bolt will go through the first piece using a threaded insert, long enough to go through the 2nd threaded insert on the 2nd piece of wood beneath the first slab and stop there? It should be just as strong if not stronger? Unless I'm missing something, I cant see how this would be a problem.

[@prabhuja7554]

M 2.5 iam notvgetting screw inserts ...any idea for my M 2.5 screw to insert my Pi board to a wood?

[@slimwantedman6694]

Good morning from Southeast South Dakota

[@DirtFarmerJay]

Morning!

[@yoheff988]

Do they make them in stainless steel?

[@rampatec7124]

We have a few stainless steel options available in metric sizes and 1/4-20.

[@arbyars.chicksawdust]

The link says: This page is not available We're sorry, but the Web address you've entered is no longer available.

[@DirtFarmerJay]

Thanks for letting me know. I'm working on it now. In the meantime, try this: INSERTS TYPE SKD330 (rampa.com)

[@johndavid3114]

How about a link at the top of the description that takes me directly to someplace i can buy then now?

[@DirtFarmerJay]

Fair enough. I'll do that. In the meantime, here is a link to their wood insert area. Please note it will always default to large quantity packages. Simply scroll down and choose the quantity you are interested in. Here's the link: www.rampa.com/na/en/Online-Shop/Products/Inserts/Application-material-WOOD/ Let me know how this turns out for you. Best, DFJ

[@DaveBoothroyd-ej5in]

Just what I'm looking for. Can you tell me how well these are like to work screwed into hardwood end grain? Thanks.

[@DirtFarmerJay]

Glad to be of help. These have good thread depth, and they are pretty sharp. With the triple configuration, it will drive straight. You should get plenty of strength. If you want to be doubly sure, you can coat the walls of the hole with super glue before driving the insert. I hope this helps! Best, DFJ

[@DaveBoothroyd-ej5in]

Thanks again, much appreciated.@@DirtFarmerJay

[@keningilbert]

Rampa marketing leaves a lot to be desired. You have to have an account just to see the pricing and learn if shipping is included. Not available at standard outlets such as Amazon, Home Depot, Ace, eBay, Rockler, etc. I can only assume they are pricey and shipping is not included and therefore most likely not cost effective, unless perhaps buying in large quantities.

[@DirtFarmerJay]

Thanks for the feedback. I'll send it to the person that I work with. I assume you used the link that I supplied? Can you confirm what site you visited? Thanks!

[@keningilbert]

@@DirtFarmerJay yes I used the Rampa link in the video description. I then searched Google as well as going to each web page or App I listed.

[@architennis]

@@DirtFarmerJay Thanks. I see they have quantity options a bit down the page on the right.

[@andre1987eph]

Bare wood threads are stronger, particularly if made with a forming tap. there are tests here on KZbin proving this

[@DirtFarmerJay]

Thanks for weighing in! Best, DFJ

[@Kenji-ds9rf]

Tell the cameraman to stop moving! Just hold still.

[@snekmeseht]

Thought I'd order myself 100 of these to try out. Rampa wants as much to ship them as they cost. I can't afford it. Typical "the customer comes last" German company.

[@jerryrobertsguitars]

impossible to find out anything from their website. I think it's a gimmick anyway. maybe that company is already out of biz. or soon will be. you're wasting our time!

[@DirtFarmerJay]

Jerry, I'm sorry about this. No, they're legit. They are a supplier to major furniture and cabinet companies. Let me find out what is happening and let's see if we can get this solved. I suspect that the link that used to work is now directing to some type of portal that isn't designed for small orders. I'll find out and get back to you. I use these inserts and REALLY like them. Let's see if we can get this figured out. Best Regards, DFJ
