The knife-style serrated outer profile cuts into the host material during installation, locking the insert in place without requiring pre-tapping the receiving hole. The insert measures 0.625 inches in overall length with an outer diameter of 0.6 inches, and requires a 0.5-inch diameter hole. Each pack contains 10 inserts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKnife thread inserts are used in woodworking, furniture assembly, cabinet manufacturing, and plastics fabrication where a reliable removable threaded connection is needed in a non-metallic substrate. They are commonly installed in residential and light commercial millwork, jigs, fixtures, and equipment housings. The minimum grip thickness required is 0.75 inches, making these inserts appropriate for medium-density panels and solid stock. Installation is performed with a hex driver matching the M8 hex drive specification on the insert head.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eKnife-style serrated outer profile locks into host material without pre-tapping\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eM8x1.25 internal thread accepts standard metric M8 fasteners\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBrass construction resists corrosion and provides smooth thread engagement\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0.625-inch overall length suits medium-thickness panels and solid stock\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eM8 hex drive head allows installation with a standard hex key or driver bit\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSold in a 10-piece pack with a minimum order quantity of 1 pack\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style threaded insert for soft substrates including wood, MDF, particleboard, and rigid plastic that require a permanent M8x1.25 internal thread in a 0.5-inch diameter through or blind hole.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is typically performed by woodworkers, fabricators, or maintenance technicians using a hex key or driver bit matched to the M8 hex drive. Drill a 0.5-inch diameter hole to the required depth before pressing or driving the insert. Ensure host material thickness meets the 0.75-inch minimum grip requirement before installation. Avoid over-driving the insert, as this can strip the surrounding material or damage the brass threads.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: M8x1.25\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Brass\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Knife\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Outer Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.6 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.625 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRequired Hole Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum Grip Thickness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.75 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrive Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: M8 Hex\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 10 pieces\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.25 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\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-M8\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"E-Z LOK","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67918839513394,"sku":"400-M8","price":24.67,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/5a025df83cf8048dbcd8ea82d37f8e49.jpg?v=1791273654","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/e-z-lok-400-m8-brass-knife-thread-insert-m8x1-25","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
