Serving the woodworking industry, E-Z LOK is one of the leading manufacturers and master distributor of threaded inserts for wood. This time the company has successfully introduced E-Z™ Knife brass and stainless steel threaded inserts for wood.
Suited for use in hardwoods like oak, cherry and maple, these inserts are ideal wherever assembly or disassembly could cause thread erosion or stripping. E-Z Knife™ threaded inserts use a proprietary external “knife” thread to slice into the wood and provide superior holding power. They are most often
machined out of brass when internal thread sizes range from #4 to ⅜ or M3 to M8. Notable features
include superior hardwood holding power with sizes available in inch (coarse/fine) and metric. The
inserts easily install with a bolt/jam nut or optional drive tool.
Brass inserts are ideal for furniture, cabinetry and partitions, while stainless steel is used in marine
applications. Several industries including shipping containers, outdoor furniture and storm shutters use
either.
E-Z™ Knife threaded inserts and thread repair kits provide an easy solution for adding machine threads
to hard woods. They can also be used for softwood, but they are not recommended for plywood. A
proprietary external thread for superior holding power is used by these inserts.
