Here is the subject:
https://www.homedepot.com/p/Everbil...Brass-Wood-Insert-Nut-2-Pack-818798/204806598
A side issue is that wonderful price for 2 pieces. I have seen a pack for 25 pieces go for between $6 - $7. Home Depot
I insert these with a short hex or allen head 1/4-20 screw. A 1/4-20 nut is turned all the way to the end of the screw thread. Then
the screw is turned into the brass insert. Take a hex key shank and insert into drill press chuck. Then use a few manual turns on the
chuck to start the insert into the wood. Tried a few times to use a slotted screw driver but the insert always gets ugly looking.
The notch is there just to get mangled by a slotted screw driver. It's only going to be strong enough in steel inserts. Removing a
a insert would be easy if there was a way to screw in a 1/4-20 screw that was modified in some way to apply force at the bottom of
the insert will turning counter-clockwise.
