Helicoil Inserts for Plastics?
Helicoil Inserts for Plastics?
(OP)
A vendor of mine is recommending that we use helicoil inserts for a threaded hole in a part made out of Delrin. Most of the information that I have suggests that brass inserts are better for plastic materials. Does anyone have experience with this or know of a good resource?
Thanks for any suggestions.
