I often have to install threaded inserts. These require you to drill out to a larger hole and screw in this brass insert. Once in place you may screw in a machine screw into the center. These are made for all sorts of sizes. Every hardware store has them. D.L.

I can't use a thicker screw (maxed out), can't fill it with epoxy (It'll run out). Other that gluing in a dowel and redrilling, any other solutions? I'd appreciate any help. Phil Ryan
