There is a type of fastner out there that acts as a nut, basically female threading, a flange, and teeth coming coming from the flange to bite into the wood so you dont need a wrench on both sides of the wood to tighten the bolt and you can use a bolt in a peice of wood without having a nut that wouldn't sit flush with the wood surface. What is the name of it? I had a thread here months ago and someone suggested using it, but I cant remeber what it was called and cant pull the thread up.

I beleive both are correct. we use the wizz nuts all the time but its more for metal. I also have used the T-nuts in wood. T-nuts are made of sheet metal and have 3-4 long teeth that dig deep into the wood. Yeah, I see wizz nuts mostly on bicycles. Be careful when you use T-nuts for the first time, they're not exactly for precision applications. |
