I'm thinking of using threaded inserts in pine to hold down a bench top drill press, vise, etc. (old Wilton bullet, old craftsmen drillpress, ie heavy)
I'm adding a sacrificial top to a table, 2x lumber. The idea is that I can add/reposition as needed with the inserts. I would normally counter sink a bolt/washer on the underside but I don't want to pull everything if I move or add something.
I'm looking for some first hand experience with them, do you think it would work? I realize there will be limitations, I'm just looking to cover most of my use which will be light to moderate. When needed I'll move to a beefier base.
Any help is appreciated, alternative suggestions too. Thanks, ralph
