I am building a computer desk with pull out drawers for the CPU, printers etc. Over time and equipment replacement the sizes of these components change. To make the drawer slides easy to adjust for height I plunged 1/4 inch holes like you would for shelf pins. Then I inserted the threaded inserts into the holes. I positioned the holes to align with the slide mounting holes. Now it is very easy to make height adjustments without the need to redrill mounting holes which can be very difficult in a narrow compartment. Before asembly of the project, I used an 8-32 screw with a thread insert and jam nut in a reversible drill to prethread each plunged hole. This way I don't need to put a threaded insert into each available hole. It's now easy to remove the insert and move to the next hole when needed. The project is in construction at present.

I am using these inserts inside of knobs to be used for quilt hangers. The ones that get installed correctly work very well. The problem we have is not the inserts, but difficulty in finding knobs with a large enough circumference to hold an insert that takes a hole 15/32" diameter for a 1/4"-20 insert. It would be nice to have something that would hold a #10-24 instead of dropping all the way down to a #8-32. Like I said though, the inserts work great and I use them in jigs and fixtures that are repeatedly assembled and disassembled. I teach in a Tech Ed lab in a middle school and the jigs stay together and the kids are able to assemble them over and over.
Editor's note: For larger wood knobs for such a project we suggest our face grain knobs #'s 61701, 61710 or 61719.

They worked very good so far. I'll see how long they last to use.
