By the time you heat them to install with hot melt they should push in anyway if they are the right inserts.Never needed to sand anything installing inserts.jmo

Did you use a pipe cutter to cut the shafts?Pipe cutters will curl or curve the end inwards.You might have got the burr,but the shaft still might have a slight curve to it.You might have to reem it out a little.

When the insert won't (slide) right in, I take an old knife and scrape the inside of the shaft in a circular motion a few rounds to get the edge off.  I works for me.

I've used a tubing cutter for years and reamed with the attached tool. Never had a problem getting the inserts to fit...as long as they are the right size.
