Double Straight Knurled Ends Brass Insert Nuts
Threaded Insert for Hard Wood - Brass
Inserts are designed for use in hard woods, like oak, cherry, and maple. inserts are ideal for use wherever assembly or disassembly could lead to thread erosion or stripping. Also, Inserts for wood use a proprietary external “knife” thread to slice into the wood, which provides superior holding power.
Inserts are most often machined out of brass when internal thread sizes range from #4 to 3/8 or M3 to M8. For additional corrosion resistance, stainless steel knife thread inserts are used with 8-32, 10-24, and 1/4-20 internal threads.
