[QUOTE="chris, post: 104058, member: 352"] The ones with the big teeth works OK in soft wood, but I find it risky to use them as they have a tenancy to split the wood. In hard wood I've used the ones with the small thread with good results. I take a countersink bit just to break the corner of the hole it helps getting it in without the wood making a little bulge on top. To echo Ian drill the hole exactly the right size never smaller as this results in the insert going in skew. But for Mdf its t nuts all the way, if there is enough space. Oh and I press them in I don't hit them in. [/QUOTE]
