Wood Specie Insert for Capstan

[David Nereson]

But backchecks usually have a fluted, not threaded end that goes in the key.  The top end, however is usually threaded into the backcheck itself.  Are these also pushed, rather than screwed in?

  David & Greg,
  Have a look at Mason & Hamlin:

  Jump to 8 minutes 10 seconds and you will see a backcheck being pushed in to
  a key.

  David,
  The holes are predrilled but the capstan is pushed, not threaded, in.

      Sounds like something a factory would do.
