Drill Press for Threaded Inserts

[@nicolasbroodryk3407]

Thank you!!! You just made my life better.

[@danishsmartpk]

Awesome. A very great way I ever found on internet to install insert nut easily.

[@dwdw4499]

Thank you, Thank you for your video, its the only one out there that talks about HOW deep to drill the hole for the threaded insert. please if you make another video with the different types of threaded inserts for wood hobbyists hold the different types by tweezers. I also think that it comes down to the lingo and terminology of the part names and what the bolt or fasteners that go into the threaded inserts. Cheers, thanks again.

[@michaelboucher3100]

Brilliant! Thank you. Just what I needed.

[@rsitch1]

Your first Rodeo? Outstanding, thank you...Bob

[@waynebooker498]

Brilliant! This is just what I needed for tomorrow. Thanks very much indeed!

[@honkynel]

Good effort. It all sounds plausible and looks easy enough. I will follow this procedure.

[@papergatorzfedducca7998]

Just messed up a project using threaded inserts. Thanks for the tip!!🔥🔥🔥

[@RussCottier]

I like your style..very safety conscious. Wish I saw more folks like that!

[@geoffhalstead1811]

VFD control on a 3-phase drill motor allows instant speed control to drive that inset in. Thumbs up for the video 👍

[@Joestacemazjojo]

First off great video all around. Next is I have back to this video for a second project. I do not have a drill press, but a harbor freight drill guide. I’ve used the bolt with cut off head method into poplar, works flawless. This time around into blk walnut slab tabletop. Not only did the insert strip and not go flush but the bolt broke off inside of insert and I made a mess removing as much as I could. Luckily it’s the underside of table and can be covered with the base but looking for a better way to go about this. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Very useful information, thanks for sharing

Great video! I have to admit, at first glance it looked like another random an generally boring tip video. But something kept me watching and I quite enjoyed it, learned a lot from it and hit the like button. Great Job Sir!

[@anamericanartisan9846]

Hi David, So glad you liked the video. I have been a professional cabinetmaker for 20 years now and I am trying to use the channel to get as much of that experience as possible out there for others to use. Threaded inserts can be a real pain if you don't approach them right. If you have a proper method they work like a dream. -Andrew

[@dantaylor7416]

Great job and awesome narration!

[@anamericanartisan9846]

Hi Dan, Thanks. Glad you liked the video and I hope it helps. -Andrew

[@Belg1970]

Great video got a couple great tips in one operation. I have been adding a touch of wax to the insert to help them drive easier.

[@anamericanartisan9846]

Hi Pat, The wax is a great idea! Thanks for the tip. Thanks for watching and commenting. -Andrew

[@chipsterb4946]

I have wanted to try threaded inserts for a bolt on guitar neck for a long time but couldn’t figure out how to get the inserts in place properly. Thanks!

[@anamericanartisan9846]

hi Cripster, Thanks. Glad I could help. you can see a portfolio of my work on my website anamericanartisan.com -Andrew

[@adamcroker_hg]

Great tip video, as usual. Now I just need a drill press!

[@anamericanartisan9846]

Hi Adam, Thanks. This is something I have tried a number of ways and I like this method the best. -Andrew

Gear wrench works better, slide over 1/4” shank then insert into drill press. Ratchet gear wrench to turn in insert while pulling down on drill press handle. 👍

[@amarpardeshi8765]

Nice Brother 🌺🙏🌺

[@mateodemateus5444]

thank you great information

[@Iazzaboyce]

I like the T-bar for when a drill press is not an option - I think a block of wood with a hole drilled for the shaft would keep the T-bar perpendicular to the surface - the hole would need to be the same size as the shaft but bigger at the base to allow for the insert.

[@sapelesteve]

Nicely done! I will have to store this one in the memory banks........... :)

[@anamericanartisan9846]

Hi Sapele Steve, Thanks! -Andrew

[@Joestacemazjojo]

Thanks for sharing, great tip. I have been running into an issue of the threaded bits pulling back out as I tighten my two pieces together. I am using pine and had been drilling into the end of a 2x2 so with the grain? I’m attaching legs of a table to cross bars (2x2) . Any suggestions? Is it the grain of the wood, softness, adhesive needed?

[@ladykenja2700]

- Good info. Thanx 4 sharing.

[@TDiver-hy3st]

Any suggestions when when with wood too large to place on a drill press (e.g. 65" x 30" desk top)?

[@garvielloken3929]

Awesome. What would you recommend for hard woods?

[@n.aminr.7175]

Great. Now the only thing I'm missing is the big table drill press.

[@swank1975]

Great idea. I first though you were going to power them in. I was like how is that going to work. :)

[@anamericanartisan9846]

Hi Mike, Thanks. Yeah, I don't recommend turning the drill press on. Thanks for watching and commenting. You can see a portfolio of my work on my website, anamericanartisan.com -Andrew

Very nice tip tnx

[@daledeimel1833]

Very Nice.

[@Jeremy-su3xy]

I can't find any insert nuts that is longer than 25mm. Why is that so? I want to insert insert nuts into 2by4 timber all the way 38mm.

[@anamericanartisan9846]

Hi Jeremy, Let me look into that and get back to you. -Andrew

Nice!

[@juanjavierlezcanocabral9819]

Perfecto

[@prmskeepr]

Why not just turn your drill press chuck by hand as you put pressure on the insert with the drill press lever instead of using a wrench?

[@anamericanartisan9846]

Hi Prmskeeper, I l think the wrench grips better and is less awkward but your idea should work. It's a good option if you don't have the right wrench. Thanks for watching and commenting. -Andrew

[@r0bsun]

Man, if you'd read the manufacturer's manual before work, this method wouldn't be a lifehack to you. Also you can use regular screwdriver with the same result.

[@jimsulsona4128]

Actually, you CANNOT use a screwdriver to produce the same results, which was his point about using the T-Wrench (which is only slightly better than using a screwdriver). If you have ever worked with insert nuts, you will find that making sure they are square and truly perpendicular to your work piece is the key to accurate placement and use, and manually driving in the insert nuts by hand using a screwdriver allows too much variance and produces inconsistent results - especially with softer woods! Many folks even make their own jig to make sure the nuts go in straight, but I like this approach, because it doesn't require making something else, and most woodworkers already have everything they need to do it in this fashion. Additionally, most woodworkers recommend that you use some type of adhesive on the exterior threads of the insert nuts to keep them from moving over time because of the potential torque applied to them, but that has its own caveats - such as too much adhesive, and being careful not to fill the interior space so that your bolt will still go as far as you need into the insert nut.
