Using Threaded Inserts

Threaded inserts, also known as T-nuts or tee nuts, are a popular hardware option for table making. These small metal inserts have threads on the inside and are used to attach legs or other hardware to the table. They provide a strong, secure connection that is easy to install and adjust.

One of the main advantages of using threaded inserts is that they allow for easy disassembly and reassembly of the table. This can be useful for moving the table or for making repairs or adjustments. Additionally, the threads on the inside of the insert provide a secure grip for the hardware, ensuring that it will not come loose over time.

The threaded inserts on each corner are how the legs are attached to the slab. They can be attached and taken off multiple times without affecting the integrity of the table, like regular screws would.

Threaded inserts are also versatile and can be used in a variety of different materials, including wood, metal, and even plastic. They come in different sizes and styles to fit the specific needs of the project. For example, flush mount threaded inserts sit flush with the surface of the table, while other types like barrel nut can be countersunk into the surface.

Another benefit of using threaded inserts is that they can be adjusted to different angles, which can be useful when attaching legs or other hardware at an angle. This allows for more flexibility in design and can help to create a more stable and sturdy table.

In conclusion, threaded inserts are a great option for table making. They provide a strong, secure connection that is easy to install and adjust. They are versatile, can be used in a variety of different materials, and allow for easy disassembly and reassembly of the table. They also come in different types and sizes to fit the specific needs of the project.
