Yes. Steel inserts with the desired thread (english or metric) can be epoxy bonded into the plate at the desired locations. Tru-stone uses CNC machines to provide the tightest insert locations within +/- 0.005″. For less critical inserts, our locational tolerance for threaded inserts is ±.060″. Other options include steel T-Bars and dovetail slots machined directly into the granite.
