A T-nut, T nut, or tee nut is a type of nut used to fasten a wood, particle or composite materials workpiece, leaving a flush surface.
T-nuts are threaded steel inserts with prongs that insert claws into wood when they are tightened, and often work when wood screws fail. After a T-nut is installed, a common bolt is used to join corresponding parts together.
T-nuts and are more effective than wood screws. They are less likely to strip, or cause cracks or splits in any type of wood. Parts can be mass-produced with T-nuts, assembled and reassembled for shipping purposes, or packaged as a kit. T-nuts resist movement and vibration, and can be tightened at regular intervals. Because they have prongs, t-nuts grip softer materials, such as particle board, better than wood screws, which tend to strip.

A nut insert is a type of fastener that is fitted into the back side of material, such as wood, because the material cannot itself be tapped for machine threads. A wood insert nut is a hollow metal cylinder with internal threads that match the thread size and pitch of the machine bolt it is intended to be used with. Insert nuts for wood may have a coarse outer thread that turns into a matching tapped thread in the wood
These Type D Insert Nuts provide a strong, permanent thread for wood and wood-based sheet materials. The incorporated flange alleviates splitting and prevents the Insert Nut from being driven in too far.
To install, simply screw the self-tapping body into the base material. The unique external thread ensures secure fixing and offers strong resistance to pull-out due to torsion or vibration.

Typical applications include audio equipment, cabinets, chairs, desks and shop equipment.
Insert nuts for wood type D are available from stock in zinc alloy from M3 to M10 in various lengths and finishes (usually zinc or zinc & yellow).
