Pimp My CNC - Threaded Insert Upgrade

Edit: If youre making your own gcode, or drilling your own holes, DO NOT go by the 9mm hole diameter recommended on the packaging of the threaded inserts I used. They are too loose in MDF. Go with 5/16" / 8mm.I'm just going to throw on a ridiculous title because it looks like no one gets to my videos from my blog. This (last) week I did a quick painfully slow little mod to my Shapeoko 2 where I installed threaded inserts into the wasteboard of my CNC machine. Now I'm able to clamp down materials more serious than cardboard so I can do some proper machining.pt4 Thumb
