Installing a Threaded Insert in Acrylic Turning Blanks | Rockler Skill Builder

A question that often comes up when turning acrylic handles is how to install the threaded insert that is included in most Rockler turning kits into an acrylic turning blank. The hard and brittle nature of acrylic blanks can make it challenging to thread this insert into the blank. We use heat to soften the acrylic temporarily and make it easier to turn the insert.
