Sean gives an overview to using threaded inserts for using machine screws in wood, metal, or even plastic 3D prints! For example, adding casters to your woodworking builds, or a 1/4-20 threaded insert in a 3D-printed phone holder. Here's how different kinds of threaded inserts perform, and Sean's recommendations for the types to use for various materials and mediums. How have you used threaded inserts in your projects?
