If there is room to get to it, you can drill out the hole to accept a metal blind nut from underneath the block too. I've done this a couple of time and it works well. Just flatten down the metal "spikes" on the flange of the blind nut and epoxy it in![8D]
Thats a great idea, I have a ARF like that. I can use this idea when a wood thread gives out!!!
Why not leave the metal "spikes" on???? If the wood is too thin , I could grind a little metal off the spikes or add a very small square of wood on with the blind nuts . The small square of wood would act like a spacer.
