The woodscrews in the tnut is a nice idea. Yes i probably got the zinc plated stuff,its just really bad quality.When switching drivers almost always have to get a few new bolts and at least one t-nut falls out.
Gonna try to find all in stainless steel. All nice and quick info in this thread,thanks! |

If you push down too much when undoing the bolt you can push the tee nut through and it will just spin.
Only apply enough pressure to undo the bolt and let it rise as you undo it. If that makes sense. |

and if you smear a little epoxy around the hole your driving it into. This i have found it a great solution for ME. You can do similar with t-nuts but i like inserts better. just my opinion. |

If it sounds like a gorilla is trying to escape, turn it down.

Another reson to use standard hex head nuts over allen head, if you use a deep socket ( http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Britool-Expert-1-4SD-6Pt-Hex-Long-Reach-Deep-Socket-10mm-E113758B-/291223000937?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item43ce3e5769) it is very difficult to push down either on insertion or removal.... Again Lube up, especially with stainless kit...

As always, Mr Shagnasty has the ultimate engineered solution for T-Nuts. Possibly a little overkill in my mind but there are definitely a few points where we agree.
Definitely pull T-nuts into an undersized hole with an impact driver, big washer and (this is important) a well lubricated bolt. This ensures: 1) The T-nut is pulled tightly into the wood 2) It's installed straight so minimal chance of cross threading 3) That the the thread is clear 4) You'll leave some lubrication in the T-Nut, although a bit of copper-ease on final installation is a very good plan. I don't have any issues with good quality socket cap machine screws, they tend to sit inside the chassis nicely. A plain and shakeproof washer on each one would also be good for belt and braces. I've never had any issues with properly installed T-nuts. Quality does vary depending on where you get them. Choose ones with a longer thread because they will be a tighter fit in the wood. |

I would use a hammer (when possible) and then use a impact driver to pull it in place. Getting t nuts in with a impact driver without the legs bending is a PAIN, and i've found it really hard to find decent one in the local tool shops.
