One other thought is changing out the threaded insert for a metric equivalent. Potential customers outside of US will want this.

Yes indeed! By design, I can install M6 x 1 mm inserts in the exact same sliding-nut bodies. :)

Plus (I though I would add ;) ) the 1/4 20 button head bolts using the aforementioned 5/16 Allen wrench, screws right into the ShopSmith sliding t-nuts for the slots of the 520 fence/table system. Lets you add all kinds of utility to the 520 system in general.

Just 2 more cents :D

I received mine today, a day to spare for the promised June delivery. These are quality items. The "nuts" feel substantial in the hand, heavier than it looks like it should be. The flashing line is minimal, maybe a couple thou and not sharp, just enough to feel. The brass inserts are smooth on the included stainless steel button head screws as well as some nylon bolts that I have. I can't yet say what the router bit is like, but since it is a Whiteside, I trust that it will live up to the quality I've had with others of that brand. The packaging was good, shipping was quick.

The minimal 'flash' is on non-functional surfaces.

I'm curious to know how others intend to use the router bit. I usually take multiple light passes when routing, so I'm thinking cut a deep dado first in multiple passes then cut the rest of the WoodAnchor contour in one pass. Is that the right approach here? Or cut it all at once with a slow feed rate? (Seems like the chips would become a problem.) Or other?
