E-Z LOK - a leading manufacturer and master distributor of threaded inserts for metal, plastic and wood - is now offering E-Z™ Knife brass and stainless steel threaded inserts for wood.

Suited for use in hardwoods such as 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're most often machined out of brass when internal thread sizes range from No.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 hardwoods. They can also be used for softwood, but aren't recommended for plywood. For superior holding power, these inserts make use of a proprietary external thread.
