The knife insert style features a knurled or serrated outer profile that cuts into the host material during installation, locking the insert in place without requiring heat or ultrasonic equipment. Each insert measures 0.375 inches in overall length with a 0.35-inch insert diameter and requires a 0.25-inch drill hole for proper seating. The minimum grip thickness required is 0.5 inches. This package contains 10 inserts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKnife inserts like the 400-M4 are commonly used in woodworking, furniture assembly, cabinetry, and light-duty industrial assembly applications where a reliable threaded anchor point is needed in non-metallic substrates. They are installed by tradespeople, millworkers, and assembly technicians working with particleboard, hardwood, plywood, and similar materials. The M4 hex drive simplifies installation with a standard hex key or driver bit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eM4x0.7 internal thread for use with standard M4 fasteners\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrass construction provides corrosion resistance and reliable thread engagement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKnife-style outer profile cuts into soft materials for a secure mechanical lock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e0.375 inches overall length fits into tight assemblies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRequires a 0.25-inch pilot hole  -  no heat or press required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eM4 hex drive for easy installation with a hex key or bit driver\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for installation into wood, plastic, and composite materials with a minimum grip thickness of 0.5 inches and a 0.25-inch diameter pilot hole.

Use a hex key or hex driver bit sized for M4 to press and rotate the insert flush with or below the surface of the material.

Avoid over-driving, which can strip the surrounding material or distort the insert threads.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: M4x0.70\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Brass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.35 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.375 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum Grip\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Hole Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.25 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHex Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: M4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 10\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0366 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: E-Z LOK\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 400-M4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"E-Z LOK","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67917072236850,"sku":"400-M4","price":15.54,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/6ab4e684a238a901dd53f8c8f1523a05.jpg?v=1791261171","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/e-z-lok-400-m4-brass-knife-insert-m4x0-7-10-pack","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
