Will bridge Feed Slot cut out of 6" long by 1/2" wide and must have a track depth of 3/4" (19mm).
The attached youtube video link is of an earlier version insert.
DRILLING INSTALLATION: The insert sleeve is symmetrical, with two protruding nipple pins. Insert a #55 drill bit into each nipple's drill guide hole before centering the insert into the feed slot.
Lightly hammer the drill bit to make a mark into the aluminum back web.
Remove the insert to center punch the drilling locations. First, use 1/8" drill bits, then finish drilling holes with a 3/16" drill bit. Hand twist a larger drill bit in the holes to remove burrs. Nipple pins will key into the holes to prevent unintentional sliding of the insert. Removing Insert: I find that a large tweezer is handy for removing the gate by squeezing the side slots at one end together, lift & pull out.
