Instructions

If your wood is 1 3/8" thick, use cut depths embedded in the SVG, otherwise offset the difference. Use multiple passes to reach desired depth. The diameter of hole where the threaded insert goes is 0.02" smaller than the diameter of the threaded insert (counting the threads) to prevent ripping the face-grain out of the wood. I am using Black Walnut here, and if I tried to go tighter, it simply made a mess of the surface when installing. Make sure to use lots of down-force until you get past the initial threads.
