Brass threaded inserts are used for easy removal of the artistic top piece. Many artists make the tops and let people chose which base they like: stainless Whiskey, brass Whiskey, Niles bottle opener, Niles Tab lifter, etc.
The inside thread is 3/8″ x 16 tpi that will match all of my products. There is a solid band on one end and the other is notched. Drill a 7/16″ hole 3/4″ deep and push the inserts with the slits going up into the wood. You can either drive it in with a rubber mallet or thread it on the mandrel and push it in that way. Be careful not to rock the mandrel as that may make the top edge of the hole wider. *note: if you have tear out of the threads in certain wood species, these inserts solve that problem. You still may have to use glue with some soft or punky woods. They work great whether you put the slotted end in first or the banded end, it’s a personal preference.

I had fought with wood blanks trying to tap threads into soft and hard wood and have had minimal luck to say the least. Your threaded inserts make creating bottle stoppers easy and help give them that quality finish.

The inserts are Great for wood! easy to install and stick very well. For acrylic not so good. The teeth don’t stick too well in acrylic. I just glue them in. Other than that inserts are well worth the cost.

I have to be honest and say I’m not enthusiastic about brass threaded inserts. Whenever I’ve used them I drill a 7/16 hole and push them in as instructed. When I put the blank on a mandrel it holds fine during turning but I have a heck of a time getting them off the mandrel. They often strip the wood and don’t go back in properly.

Your materials are top notch. The last order was my second time ordering and wanted to try some of your bottle stopper pieces. The bottle opener design has fetched great feedback so far. One comment I have is on the brass threaded inserts. The first time using them, I may not have drilled deep enough into the stabilized burl I was using and when the insert was pressed in, it squeezed the end together making it impossible to fully thread the bottle opener in. I remedied the situation by turning an accent spacer piece to take up the un-engaged thread space. I learn something new every time. Thank you for putting out a quality product. I’ll surely be back for more orders
