The F bit fits the Binding Freedom guide block better.We consider 7/1000″ well within the reasonable margin of error so either will work. Stainless Steel Screws for Threaded Insertsġ/4″ (0.2500″) or F (0.2570″)? Some recommend using a 7/1000″ larger ‘F’ drill bit while others prefer the more standard 1/4″ drill bit which fit in our standard drill guides to assure vertical and accurate drilling.It is possible to ‘tweak’ the installed insert location just enough if there are slight errors. We recommend that you ‘lightly’ install your bindings with appropriate screws to align the binding holes with the inserts while the epoxy cures. Despite all of the care in the world, you can still be off just enough to create a problem once the epoxy sets.If you are pressed for time, tired, distracted, inebriated, among other factors, errors are more likely to occur. Only attempt installations when you have time, focus and mojo.You can use a paper binding template with the holes punched out as a quick gauge. The tolerances for threaded inserts are less and be sure to double check existing holes before blindly drilling away. Alpine screws can be off a little bit and work fine. Even though existing holes may have been fine for alpine or telemark mounts, does not necessarily mean they are free from accuracy errors.It is highly recommended that you redrill existing holes for binding inserts after testing the binding location and skis with a conventional alpine binding mount.Practice on old skis or scrap wood before attempting on your current skis.General Binding Insert Installation Tips: Both inserts are within 0.2mm of the same effective average screw depth of over 6 revolutions (QK=6.5 and BF=6.25) which is around 5mm screw length engagement inside the inserts. The pitch indicates the travel distance of the screw for each revolution. The inner threads accept M5 x 0.8mm pitch machine screws. ![]() A little deeper hole will fill with epoxy to nullify any voids.īoth have the same outer ( same tap) and inner threads. This is a minor 0.6 mm average difference which may be important for some but inconsequential for most. The lengths QK inserts average 8.55 mm & the BF inserts average 9.15. The actual diameters for both average 7.85 mm. A jam nut in conjunction with a threaded installation tool or shoulder screw can also be used for installation and extraction for both inserts.īoth Quiver Killer and Binding Freedom inserts are nominally 9mm length x 8mm (5/16″) diameter. It is also possible that the slot in the BF insert can also get stripped or compromised and an extractor may become necessary. Occasionally you may need to remove an errant insert so always order more than you think you need…just in case. ![]() Quiver Killer Inserts Courtesy of Drew Stuff happens: This slot also allows for the removal of the insert without ruining the interior threads while using an extraction tool with reverse threads. This allows for the use of a slotted driver or Binding Freedom’s 3 in 1 Installation Tool. (Click on the adjacent images to enlarge.)īinding Freedom inserts have a notch across the top. Regarding materials, tools, screws and installation procedures, Binding Freedom & Quiver Killer stainless steel threaded inserts are virtually interchangeable.
