S.S. Inserts........

Post by Dimitar »

It is really hard to find any quality inserts all over this continent (Europe) :D
Yesterday, we suddenly found an inserts producer locally. Just got a sample piece.

Material: Stainless steel AISI-316
Size: M6x7mm

We tried to overtighten a screw into it, but this thing is really though. Unfortunately, there is no cap.

Do you guys know how we could make/install some magnetic caps :D

It has no flats in the base. I'd be worried it would spin when tightened.
You could always grind two flats but that would get old fast.

You need some ridges, corners or anything the like to give the epoy something to grab onto otherwise it will start spinning in your boards.

I just spoke with the producer. They can grind 2 sides of the base in order to avoid any possible spinning inside the boards. Is it ok like this?

FWIW : SS sometimes can be difficult to bond to especially if it's smooth.
SS need some kind surface preparation to improve bonding.
I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work.

CAMAX inserts

Post by richie »

Goz, I'm with Falls, been using CAMAX right from the start with no complaints, lots of lengths available too, I see skilab sell them in only a couple of lengths but there are lots more if you contact CAMAX directly and I'm sure he'll take an order for a few thousand!!!

Yeah I have been in contact with camax, just thought it may be worth investigating the ss but probably not going to work out.
