thanks for the idea!

Very good idea. I was fighting with this very challenge just recently. Thanks for sharing. I will make one of these jigs for sure.

Thanks Mads. A great idea. And getting threaded inserts in is only a little problem until they don’t go in straight! I will definitely be making one of these soon.

How can I make this jig come up on the jig category, so it will be easy for others to find?
I have to be carefull after all the [THIS IS NOT A FINISHED WOODWORKING PROJECT] discusions I could not keep my nose out of…

Love this idea !!
I have ruined many inserts with the screw driver
turning over the slot for the screwdriver on the insert.
This is a fantastic idea : )

Mafe, that little fixture of yours is great and foolproof. Necessity is the mother of invention!! I love it.

I have used these inserts and they are hard to start square. I have a machine shop so I made a steel rod that fits inside the threads on the insert. Then I drilled a small hole through the center of the rod and inserted a small roll pin to fit in the screw driver slot in the insert. I put this rod in my cordless drill and line it up square and drive it home.

There is another kind of internally threaded insert I found that drives in with an allen wrench and I have since switched to them. they are easier to start and have a real thin head that burys into the wood I cannot put pictures on blogs because I could not down load the needed software. So, if anyone wants to see what they look like, send me your E mail address and I’ll send a picture to you….....Jim

Nice jig Mafe, well made and well explained.

Does the wing nut big enough to apply required tork to thread the insert? I think I would use a bolt instead of a threaded rod and use a wrench or a ratchet to thread the insert.

And about the [THIS IS NOT A FINISHED WOODWORKING PROJECT], don’t bother and let them express their opinion. It’s one of their rights. Meanwhile, let’s talk about woodworking and let’s share positive thoughts, projects, ideas and jigs of course.

Thanks for posting.

Best,

Thanks again,
Jim: please post your jig, so we can see it, at least here, I love to learn, and I’m as you know a beginner, so I eat all the words of your guys like as if it was candy – thank you.
Bricofleur: I think you are right, that the wing nut are not to strong, I put it into soft wood this time, but on some hard wood it might be a problem, so yes your idea will come in handy, I was thinking also to put my accudrill first, but even on slow speed it might be too fast… But perhaps if you have to put a lot in a short time… And now you are there: ‘I love all your jig posts’, so than you too.

And for the Lumberjocks police force – may the force be with them!

Very useful. I promise I’ll make one before I screw in one more insert! lol
