I'm looking at making a cheval mirror out of hard maple. Lots of places sell the hardware and about half say the pitch of the threaded rod but I'm struggling to find any that say the thread pitch of the insert that go into the wood around the mirror. Usually they just say "carefully" screw the insert into the wood. I'm assuming that most of the sellers are thinking that the people buying are just trying to fix a mirror they already own. I was thinking it would be best to tap the wood and then install the insert with a little epoxy to prevent it from coming out. I'm assuming that new ones are made in a factory in China so there's probably several different pitch size (including some metric). Does anyone have a supplier that actually knows the thread pitch of the hardware they sell?
