The Cabineo M6 insert is a threaded insert for furniture joints and is used in combination with the Cabineo 8 M6 or Cabineo X. It is ideal for applications where the thread cannot be cut directly into the workpiece or to increase strength in corner and dividing wall connections. An 8 mm hole is drilled for installation and the threaded sleeve is then positioned and driven into the material with the installation tool. The installation tool is designed so that the Cabineo M6 insert is automatically positioned 1 mm below the panel surface when it is installed. When installing in a dividing panel, the threaded insert must be installed in the middle of the panel so that the Cabineo M6 screws are long enough to engage the insert from both sides. In order to drive the Cabineo M6 insert deeper into the material, the plastic sleeve on the installation tool is turned by 180°, which causes the insert to lie 5 mm below the panel surface. Tapping in instead of screwing in has two advantages – it is faster and the threaded inserts are always installed vertically. This prevents single external threads from being screwed into the drill hole at an angle. In addition to use with the Cabineo system, the Cabineo 8 M6 insert can also be used with standard screws with thread size M6.
