What about the back material pertruding, is there a way to get countersunk bolts and nuts in a 6mm package so that the inside and the outside sit compeletly flush! I have found some 110° countersunk bolts but countersunk nuts seem to be non existent or that's my opinion!? I live in Germany.
That sounds possible. I sized the threaded standoffs to be equal to 2x the thickness of the material I was working with. It's possible to get shorter sizes. McMaster-Carr has got a huge selection, it would depend on what thickness of material you were working with and whatever other design constraints you have. You should be able to get a shallow enough standoff that a countersink screw would thread into it and end up with a joint that was flush on both sides.
@@42Pursuit I got a handheld hydraulic crimp tool from harbor freight for about $80 (USD). The hydraulic crimper is intended to be used to crimp fittings onto large gauge electrical wire, but since it produces up to 8 tons of force it can be used to install pemserts in certain materials.
I've been looking into what I would need to build a custom computer case, and this is the exact video I needed to see. Thanks!
Sweet! That's a great idea using those for a custom computer case!
Great video. Very helpful and informative. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you kindly! Glad you found it helpful!
Very informative and short. Thanks.
Did you press come with the extended handle or is that a random metal tube you found?
It didn't come with it. That was the handle from a car jack I had laying around.
I saw you on Will's channel and came for a look-see, I subbed.
Cheers from Tokyo!

Thanks for the sub!
10.7Kn is like 1070Kg... That much you need to press these fixings into aluminium?

The head on the standoff is between .018-.023 . I have worked at PEM place for 20 years.
A hydraulic crimping tool also works.
Hmm, how much do those tools cost?
