is there any simple guide of how to install threaded inserts
i am awful at doing them and really dont wanna screw my nice new redember up
Give some details of the exact inserts. There are several types, and they all behave differently.

So I read through It and still bit confused
Planning on m4/m5 ez lok hard wood
How many. Inserts though? And still not sur best way to install
I usually put one about every 11cm, except between some of them make it 13cm so the enclosure can’t accidentally be installed backwards
And I feel like that’s a lot, you could probably get by with a lot less. That’s about 15 - 18 bolts per enclosure. You could probably be fine with like 9 or 10.
I also don’t put them on the corners, but just inside the corner by about 4cm on each side.
For reference, I’m talking about fiberglass enclosures. If it’s an ABS enclosure, the first thing I’d do is find a fiberglass enclosure.

eboosted enclosure xapham deck
thanks
gonna go ez lok stainless steel hard wood just need to find on amazon
for m5 how large of a hole should i drill m4?
I would strongly suggest the Ez-Knife ones
But I measure them with calipers then select the drill size. Measure the part without the threads and go down a tiny tiny bit from that.

About to order a ez knife kit but was wondering how many inserts it comes with and I know many people use inserts of eBay/aliexpress but which are compatible with ez lok?
Six. You may want a second one, just in case.

A second tool?
No, a second pack of inserts, in case six isn’t enough.

Yeah 6 won’t be enough
Sadly they only sell them for 5 for £20 so I want some aliexpress fakes
Sadly shipping times…
Anyone in the U.K. got some spare?
They’re based in the US, but McMaster has comparable inserts. Shipping might tip the scales though.

Yeah shipping to U.K. atm is ridiculous
AliExpress absolutely does not carry the Ez-Knife inserts, I’ve searched for hours on multiple occasions.
I have to order those domestically for lot$ of monie$
