# Insert Nuts for Wood, MDF and Chipboard

Insert nuts create strong, reusable internal threads in wood, MDF and chipboard, making them ideal for furniture manufacturing, cabinetry and shopfitting applications. Designed to prevent pull-out and improve joint strength, threaded inserts provide a secure fixing point for machine screws and bolts. At JET PRESS, we supply a wide range of knock-in and screw-in insert nuts in multiple thread sizes to suit both softwood and hardwood materials.

## Threaded Insert Nuts for Timber Applications

Insert nuts create strong, reusable internal threads in timber and man-made boards. Commonly used in furniture manufacturing, cabinetry and shopfitting applications, they provide a secure fixing point for machine screws and bolts while preventing pull-out and joint failure.

Our range includes knock-in and screw-in insert nuts in various thread sizes to suit softwood, MDF, plywood and hardwood materials.

## What Are Insert Nuts used for?

Insert nuts are designed to:

- Create a durable metal thread inside wood-based materials

- Increase resistance to vibration and pull-out

They are widely used in:

- Flat-pack and fitted furniture
- Shopfitting and display units
- Cabinet construction
- Bed frames and seating
- Worktops and structural joinery

## DESIGN AND INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS

#### Advantages

- **Secure Fastening**: Provide strong and reliable threaded connections in materials that are too soft or brittle to support threads.
- **Removability**: Facilitate easy disassembly and reassembly, useful in applications where maintenance or upgrades are expected.
- **Versatile**: Suitable for softwood, MDF, plywood and hardwood.
- **Load Distribution**: Some designs distribute the load over a larger area, reducing stress on the base material.

#### Considerations

- **Material Compatibility**: The choice of insert nut should be compatible with the material of the workpiece to ensure a secure fit.
- **Load Requirements**: The load-bearing capacity of the insert nut should match the requirements of the application.
- **Installation Precision**: Correct installation is crucial for the effectiveness of the insert nut, especially in terms of depth and alignment. If the pilot hole is too small, the material may split. If it is too large, the insert may not grip correctly.

#### Thread Sizes Available

Insert nuts are available in common metric internal threads including:

- M4
- M5
- M6
- M8
- M10

The internal thread size must match your bolt or machine screw. The external design must match your board type.
