Lee Valley 35th anniversary

 
A. It is easiest to think of this as a barrel-shaped insert nut that secures in any 3/4" diameter hole,

except this one self-anchors and is removable. Usable horizontally, vertically or at any angle in between, it accepts common 1/2-13 threaded bolts, and will wedge in through-holes in material as thin as 5/8" (depending on the strength of the material) or in blind holes 1-1/4" deep. With a pull-out strength of at least 200 lbf* in hardwood, the anchor has a wedging mechanism controlled by an integral hex-head screw drive and an external rubber O-ring that uses friction to hold it in place during installation. With 3/8" of internal thread travel, the anchor is designed to secure materials of known thickness using a fixed length fastener (for example, fastening 3/4" thick material with a 1" long machine screw).

Ideal for fastening thin material, it is useful for fixing jigs, guides, etc. Best used with non-hex head drive fasteners, as the force applied with a wrench may overpower the anchor, loosening or dislodging it. All-steel construction.

Made in Canada. Patent pending.

O-ring holds anchor in
place during installation.
Wedge adjusts to
secure in dog hole.
Attach jig with fastener.

* In our tests, an anchor, fully seated in a 1-1/4" blind hole, had a pull-out strength of at least 200 lbf when used in hardwood and 150 lbf when used in softwood. Actual pull-out strength will vary depending on material used and torque applied.
 
B, C & D. Though any 1/2-13 threaded rod or bolt may be used with our bench anchor, we offer a small selection of flat-head and round-head fasteners here for convenience. The 1-1/16"dia. washer, for use with round-head fasteners, increases the surface contact area of the head, distributing clamping pressure while reducing the potential for fiber crushing. All are zinc-plated steel.
