Traditional threaded inserts can be difficult to center in the wood. Are these insets easier to insert? Can you use an Allen wrench to insert the threaded insert rather then the actual metal element?
Looks like the Extended Dovetail Jaws (though in the video we say pin jaws... oops) www.woodturnerscatalog.com/p/105/5468/vicmarc-Extended-Dovetail-Jaw-Set
Great helpful video. I just received these inserts, pizza cutters, ice cream scoops, and coffee scoops to make as gifts. The threaded inserts on the utensils are all an inch or longer and the threaded insert is 3/4. Do you suggest cutting the utensil thread (hard to do in SS! ) or drilling the hole deeper and leaving the insert at the bottom of the hole. This would seem to leave a gap at the opening however. Suggestions? Thanks!
If you only drill a 3/4 inch hole in the end of the blank, how do you insert the pizza cutter all the way in? The screw is "typically" longer than 3/4 of an inch. Instructions for the premium pizza cutter say to drill the hole 1-1/4 inch deep. I've used inserts before that allow the tool screw to go completely through the insert and the tool can be flush with the blank. I fully agree that putting the tool onto the insert prior to gluing the insert into the blank is a great idea especially the part about putting wax on the screw to avoid getting glue or epoxy on the screw. BTW, these inserts are less expensive that the ones I currently use so I will be coming your way next time I order. Thanks
Great product. Beautiful work. Thanks! Just don't stick you fingers in front of the spindle gouge when trimming off the nub. Murphy's law is supreme. 😉
Great product from Ruth Niles

Great project, as always... I was wondering exactly which pin jaw set you are using in this video...

I need a curved skew chisel. Which one are you using in this video?
