I haven't yet drilled the holes. A forstner bit is a good idea. Hopefully I've got one small enough (these are the ones I bought). E-Z Lok's site says to use a 17/64 drill bit, which I definitely don't have a forstner of. Might have a 3/8, though. Drilling big and using some epoxy is a good idea, but I'd be worried about keeping epoxy out of the internal threads.

I've got some scrap I can test on. Probably the only way to be sure what'll happen. :)

Installing them from the bottom of the board still seems like it might be the easiest route. I'll test a few options and see what works.

Thanks!

Threaded inserts can be bought in packs of 10s or 100s cheaply, and fit common machine screws that can also be bought cheaply in bulk. These and these for instance. Usually available at your local hardware store as well.
