− | Guide plates can also be installed at this time if desired. Consider Isky adjustable guide plates. Using guide plates will require the stud bosses to be machined shorter to compensate for the thickness of the plates and the hex on the stud. While home builders have successfully installed screw in studs without specialized equipment, unless the builder is well versed in doing this type of work, i.e. drilling straight, correctly located holes and tapping them, this is better left to a professional machinist/machine shop. At the least, a fixture to guide the drill bit and tap should be used. | + | Guide plates can also be installed at this time if desired. Consider Isky adjustable guide plates.
