Those time-serts serve the same purpose as the old Heli-Coils I've used in the past to repair stripped threads. The timeserts are solid bushing rather than a spring type insert as the Heli-Coils are. I'll bet both work equally good, but I question the need to protect the aluminum in that manner? IF - and that's a big "IF" - the threads ever do wear out, stripped, etc - they could then be repaired with timeserts or helicoils with the same effort - could they not? Not sure, so I'm asking the question.
BTW, you've got a NICE looking grinder there- I might steal a couple ideas myself to retro-fit to my home brew grinder I made last winter. Good job! and good documentation.
