Click- M8 Leg Mounting Plates

I have an antique chair that the kids jumped on and broke the legs. I bought replacement legs, but needed a sturdy way to attach them. I ordered these mounting plates and was happy to see that they were very sturdy. I was unhappy to find that the screws included to attach the plates to the chair were very soft metal and not only bent, but broke with any torque. I just used screws I had in my workshop, so it was not a huge deal for me, but if you don't have that option, you will definitely need to get stronger screws. Other than that, all the parts are there, plus some extras just in case. This is still a great product.

These were perfect for hacking my Ikea Kvik couch.

Easy installment, very durable, fit perfect for my wingback chairs. They are no longer wobbly, these are worth buying. Now my chairs feel like new when you sit in them.

The description should not have 5/16” in it. The plate, stud, and insert have M8-1.25 threads. M8 thread and 5/16 threads are not interchangeable. The set looks to be good quality and the parts fit together.

Good replacement for Ikea Adils leg mounts. We purchased a few legs from Ikea, only to arrive home 3 hours away to realize one was missing the mounting bracket. These work a suitable replacements, although they're not quite as stable as the OEM Ikea ones.

Worked perfectly

We used this to modify an IKEA cabinet to have custom legs. It worked wonderfully -- it comes with everything you need. The legs feel pretty firm. One tip during installation -- make sure that the holes you drill at the center of the brackets (the big one that the larger screws holding the legs go into) are straight or you'll have a hell of a time getting it all aligned.

These are the sizes of drill bits and tools needed for installing into red oak. If installing into harder hardwoods, such as maple or granadillo, increase the bit size by 1/64". If installing into softwoods, like pine or spruce, decrease the bit size by 1/64. For red oak, you will need 7/64 for the 4 screws that attach each plate, 1/4" for the 2" screw that goes into it, 7/16 for the threaded insert that goes into the leg and an 8 mm (or 5/16") allen wrench for the insert. The 7/16" bit might be a problem if you have a 3/8" drill and the bit shaft is not turned down. I ran into that problem, so I used a 7/16 blade bit, which is not the best solution. My legs are 28" long, so would not fit into a workbench-mounted drill press. My suggestion is to take the 7/64" bit (not the 7/16!) and use it to drill a pilot hole into the axis of the leg. If done horizontally, your drill might have a bubble level to help you drill it more or less straight. If using a 7/16" blade, drill a 1/2" deep hole next for the insert. Then drill the 1/4" hole 1 3/4" deep because most of the 2" screw will have to go into the leg. To screw in the threaded insert, you will need the 8 mm (or 5/16") allen wrench, which is much larger than found on most of the common "key ring" sets of allen wrenches. I used two ordinary SAE 1/2" nuts to lock the threads so that I could screw in that 2" screw using a set of box wrenches (a 13 mm and a 1/2" wrench will work well). Technically, it is not really a hanger bolt, which has metal threads on one side and wood threads on the other. Anyway, the problem with the lock nuts that is that the depth of the plate is only 1/4", so that you have to leave only 1/4" of the screw sticking out of the leg insert. The 2 nuts have a length of 1/2", so I had to use pliers to grab the threaded part of the screw and make it go in more. It did not seem to damage the threads, but be careful (I would not use a vice-grips to do that). If the screw is too loose inside the insert, you can try a thread locker like Locktite or even some superglue. When mounting the bracket, use a Sharpie to mark the 4 holes and the center. Drill a 1/4" depression into the center mark using the 5/16" drill bit just in case the screw extends more than 1/4". Then use the 7/64" for the 4 small holes. You would be smart to use a medium screw driver and insert the screws by hand, not with a power screw driver, in order to avoid damaging the screw heads or stripping the hole threads. I used these to connect four 1 1/2" legs to a round table, 3/4" thick, all red oak. I had previously tried the locking hinges sold here on Amazon and found the table too wobbly, but otherwise stable. I was hoping these leg attachments would work better. When screwed in tightly, the plates contact the legs only in a diameter of about 1". The table was, maybe, slightly less wobbly than the hinge setups, but still not ideal. I wanted the legs to either be removable or to fold under the table. While all tables wobble to some extent, I am not totally satisfied with this solution. Since I first reviewed this, I found the Waddell leg brackets sold here on Amazon (and at Lowe's). They have 4 bracket plates that are wider and have a larger and flatter contact area for the top of the leg. While it has a set of 16 screws for attaching the plates, you will need to use suitable inserts for 5/16-18 threads and the 5/16-18 screws, which will make using the Waddells much more expensive, although much more effective.

Good quality, good price and next day delivery

5/16インチのネジ(メートル法M8) 5/16インチ(M8) は日本では表示はどっちだよってなる まぁどっちも8mm付近の穴や直径だけど。 現在の細かい詳細は省くけど、ホムセンでも8mm幅のボルトはM8 or 5/16 で別物として売られている。ピッチは書いてないけどね。 商品としてはこのセットフル活用で解決するので良い商品だと思うが、結果言うとM8なんだけど、ピッチが書いてあれば間違えにくいし買いやすいのになと思う。 最近の家具はM8を使うの増えてきたので新しい家具には合いやすいと思う。M8なので基本的なM8のタップやダイス等でも工作はなんとかなる。 残念ながら家にある、沢山ある古い家具の脚(ボルト付き)や古いキャスターを使いたくて5/16インチの受け皿を探していたが結果ピッチが違うので当たり前だが鬼目ナットは写真の部品で引っかかり使用不可でした。 自分の目的では今のところ買ったが使うことが無いかな。 求めていた5/16インチ物は、3倍位の値段で別物として売られているのを後から確認出来た ピッチ測る道具持ってないけど、M8も5/16インチも部品を持っているので回せばわかるけど日本で買うにはややこしいかなと思いました。 M8と5/16の変換ナットっての存在するくらいだからね。 これはM８よ。ホムセンのネジ売りコーナーで何も考えずにM5.M6.M8.M10と並んでるM8です。 M８なのでこれから使い勝手が良いのは確かです。

Ok Easy to Install, it fixed my issue

The good - these fit the IKEA Adils table legs which is tough to find. The bad - the screws are very cheap, two broke during install (head snapped off once almost fully screwed in).
