FAQs

What size drill bit should I use for the M8 insert nuts?

The correct drill bit size depends on the wood type. Consult the insert nut's packaging or manufacturer's specifications for the recommended pilot hole diameter.

Can these insert nuts be used with metal furniture?

No, these insert nuts are specifically designed for use with wood furniture.

What if I need a different thread size?

These insert nuts are M8. If you need a different size (M6 or M10), you will need to purchase the corresponding insert nuts.

How do I remove an insert nut?

You can remove an insert nut by unscrewing it using a bolt, or with pliers, or by using a dedicated insert nut removal tool.

Are these insert nuts suitable for outdoor use?

It depends on the specific finish of the insert nuts. Check the product description for weather resistance.

What is the benefit of using insert nuts instead of just using wood screws?

Insert nuts provide a stronger and more durable thread, allowing for repeated assembly and disassembly without stripping the wood.

What is the M8 fitting?

M8 refers to the size of the screw thread. The M8 fitting is 8mm.

Troubleshooting

Insert nut spins freely in the wood.

The hole may be too large. Try using a larger diameter insert nut or filling the hole with wood filler and re-drilling.

Bolt doesn't thread into the insert nut.

Check if the bolt size matches the M8 fitting. Verify that the threads are not damaged.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:
