More and more woodworkers today are turning to woodworking insert tools because they offer an attractive combination of value, versatility and quality. But what exactly is woodworking insert tooling?

The cutting edges are manufactured separately from the tool bodies and joined later. Other types of tooling typically have cutting edges that are permanently attached to the body, usually by a silver solder braze joint. Woodworking insert tooling is joined to a tool post by some type of mechanical clamp or screw.

Carbide difference

A different grade of carbide can be used for woodworking insert tooling. The grade of carbide is most often a much better grade, because it’s mechanically clamped and doesn’t have to be brazed. In brazing, the material used to braze the knives to the tool post attaches to the carbide in the knife, changing the carbide slightly.

With brazing you can’t always get the angles you need in machining different types of hard woods, soft woods, composites or whatever. With woodworking insert tooling you get a better finish.

Woodworking insert advantages also extend beyond the cutting edge. Because woodworking inserts are attached to tool bodies mechanically, manufacturers can use different, lighter metals for tool bodies. Light-metal tool bodies minimize tool weight when addressing weight-sensitive tool applications.

A screw doesn’t hold very well in end grain. On this project I decided to use woodworking inserts at the top of the table leg.

Because white oak is very dense and hard I drilled the hole just a little smaller than the woodworking inserts. I then used an Epoxy and sawdust mixture to help secure the woodworking inserts in place.

The woodworking Insert sleeve is used to cover the hole wherever cable exits a wood or vinyl post on a level run, creating a clean look. These sleeves are necessary in some applications where the cable leaves a post at an angle (i.e. turning multiple post corners, etc.).

With the beauty of 316 stainless steel, the woodworking Insert sleeve brings a look of elegance to any cable railing system. The woodworking Insert sleeve can be found in the Wood Level Tension Kit.

With the trend of urbanization creating deeper inroads, governments in several countries are undertaking numerous initiatives to upgrade old infrastructures and construct new ones.

For instance, according to a report by the India Brand Equity Foundation (IBEF), the Indian Government announced allocating US$ 1.89 Billion under the Atal Mission for Rejuvenation and Urban Transformation (AMRUT) to support the initiatives such as “Housing for All” and “Smart Cities Mission” in 2021.

As woodworking insert are extensively being used for the manufacturing of cabinets, doors, and other furniture items used in these infrastructures, this rise in construction activities across the globe is projected to create lucrative growth opportunities in the market.

Shop fixtures and jigs often require the installation of various clamping or adjustment knobs. That’s when you’ll reach for woodworking inserts.

Use woodworking inserts in softer woods and plywood where their coarse outside threads cut easily into the surrounding wood. Simply drill a hole sized for the body of the woodworking inserts, and screw it into place. In very hard woods, such as white oak and maple, or when the woodworking inserts is close to the edge of a part and screwing it in may split the wood, drill a hole slightly larger than the outside thread diameter, and epoxy the woodworking inserts in place. To protect the internal threads from epoxy, cover the end of the woodworking inserts, as shown below.

Press-in woodworking insertss, with their barbed exteriors, work well in hard woods, soft woods, and plywood. Drill a hole sized for the body of the woodworking inserts, and press it into place with a clamp or tap it in with a hammer and a block of wood. For applications in which the clamping action tends to pull the woodworking inserts out of the wood, such as the knobs that tighten down on a drill-press fence extension, drill a hole that engages just the tips of the woodworking inserts barbs and epoxy it in place.

Don’t waste time dealing with stripped threads or parts that are difficult to install. Hard wood and soft wood threaded woodworking inserts are designed to prevent stripping and thread erosion to provide superior holding power in all applications.

These threaded woodworking inserts are easy to install, requiring only a screwdriver, hex key or one of our special drive tools.

We offer threaded woodworking inserts for wood in three different styles and different materials like brass, stainless steel and zinc alloy construction, which may vary by style.

Installing a threaded insert into wood without the woodworking insert toolhow to install a threaded woodworking insert into wood without the insert tool.

Threaded woodworking inserts are great fasteners that dramatically extend the life of a hole by creating a metal threading point instead of using wood repeatedly. By using metal woodworking inserts, the bolt can be installed and removed multiple times without diminishing the hold strength of the hole. The downside of threaded woodworking inserts is that they usually require some type of vendor specific bit or driver to install them properly.

We, for example, carry the threaded woodworking insert install tool. This tool works great for installing these woodworking inserts but what happens if you get to a job site and you’ve forgotten the bit that makes working with these woodworking inserts so easy at home? The answer is simple, use a tap bolt to create a different drive point for the woodworking insert.
