Bottle Stopper Threaded Inserts

Unlike knife or thread-in inserts that cut and damage your material, our inserts are pressure fit inserts that won’t damage your working material. The Savannah Pressure Fit Threaded Inserts are designed to be embedded into various materials so that you can thread a 3/8” x 16 bolt or stud into your stock. The insert works exceptionally well in harder materials such as resins, acrylics and hardwoods. The inserts can also be used in softer materials as well such as some plastics and softwoods.

Each insert has opposing angled grooves on the outside to grip the material once the insert is pressed into the hole. The angled grooves dig into the material just enough too make the insert almost impossible to remove once its in place. No glue is necessary but may be used if so desired. The inserts also are made with a slightly smaller and smooth entry ring at the base. This makes placing the insert into a half inch hole easy. This gives you the perfect starting position for pressing it in

Perfect for use in furniture making projects, cabinetry builds, general woodworking, wooden or composite material bottle stoppers, tap handles and a whole lot more! Woodworkers can never have too many of these on hand. Wherever you need a shallow 3/8” x 16 tpi thread, this insert was made for the job.

Add Threads to Almost Anything

Whether you're a professional woodworker, furniture builder or a do it yourself kind of person, you can use these inserts to give you a shallow threaded hole wherever its needed! Best of all no glue is required to make these hold in place.

Quit bustin' knuckles and chunkin' pieces of your material!

Unlike the knife or cut style brass inserts, our inserts are pressed into the hole. Designed to fit into 1/2" holes for a perfect and very strong fit. Once its in, it is locked in.

Under Pressure...

Once you're ready to put the insert into your material all you will need is a vise or a clamp. Simply set the insert into the hole and slowly press the insert in. Depending on your hole, the amount of pressure you need to apply may be greater.

Unique Design for Insert to Hole Alignment

Our engineers have also come up with a simple solution to get the pressing process started. The smooth entry ring on the bottom of the inserts is slightly smaller than the locking grooves on the threaded insert. This gives the insert the perfect starting point to be aligned with the hole before pressing the insert into the hole. This means NO more crooked, mis-aligned threads or unsightly split blanks. These pressure fit inserts ensure that when the bottle stopper, stud or bolt is installed into the blank or your material, you have good alignment.

NO GLUE REQUIRED!

Many brass inserts require glue to keep them in place. While some knife style inserts seem to be solid, when you rotate them the opposite way they can become loosened. Thus the need for glue with that style and other style inserts. That doesn't happen with these brass inserts! The opposing angle grooves act like a locking mechanism and keep the inserts locked in.
