Does anyone have experience with using these in end grain? I'm thinking of using them for a bed project. I want the bed to be easily broken down.
Thanks

Could you show how the parts are oriented and how you plan to fasten?Does anyone have experience with using these in end grain? I'm thinking of using them for a bed project. I want the bed to be easily broken down.

The inserts looks simple, but they are not easy to install without the insert skewing off at a slight angle. I even purchased the special driver to try and avoid the skewing. It was not as bad as just using a screwdriver, but I still struggled with the insert.I've used the other suggested parts before and they worked good. These looked a little more simple.
Absolutely. You need to experiment with the size. Too small a pilot and the insert will either not screw in, or will break the wood. Too large a pilot and the insert will strip out under load.Do you drill a pilot hole for the insert?
