Typically: M4 insert → 8–10mm hole; M6 insert → 10–12mm hole; M8 insert → 12–15mm hole. Check the specific variant for the exact recommended hole diameter.\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Can these be used in MDF and particleboard?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eA: Yes. E-nut insert nuts are specifically designed for MDF and particleboard, which cannot hold standard wood screws reliably under repeated assembly. The metal insert provides a strong, durable thread that withstands multiple assembly cycles in these materials.\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: How do I install an E-nut insert nut?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eA: 1) Drill the correct diameter hole to the required depth. 2) Insert the E-nut into the hole. 3) Use an Allen key to drive the insert clockwise until flush with or slightly below the surface. 4) The external thread or barbs will grip the wood as the insert is driven in. Do not over-drive — stop when flush.\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003c\/dl\u003e","brand":"Keszoox","offers":[{"title":"M4x6","offer_id":46895090434283,"sku":"5:200148165#M4x6","price":2.78,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"M4x8","offer_id":46895090958571,"sku":"5:200148634#M4x8","price":2.82,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"M4x10","offer_id":46895090925803,"sku":"5:200169412#M4x10","price":2.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"M5x8","offer_id":46895090598123,"sku":"5:200452574#M5x8","price":2.82,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"M5x10","offer_id":46895090532587,"sku":"5:200630733#M5x10","price":2.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"M6x8","offer_id":46895090827499,"sku":"5:200743351#M6x8","price":3.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"M6x10","offer_id":46895090893035,"sku":"5:202198813#M6x10","price":3.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"M6x12","offer_id":46895090860267,"sku":"5:202198814#M6x12","price":3.46,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"M6x13","offer_id":46895090729195,"sku":"5:200060030#M6x13","price":3.72,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"M6x15","offer_id":46895090696427,"sku":"5:200039894#M6x15","price":3.54,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"M6x18","offer_id":46895090794731,"sku":"5:200005616#M6x18","price":4.08,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"M6x20","offer_id":46895090761963,"sku":"5:100012482#M6x20","price":4.32,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"M8x10","offer_id":46895090565355,"sku":"5:100012485#M8x10","price":3.52,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"M8x13","offer_id":46895090499819,"sku":"5:100012487#M8x13","price":3.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"M8x15","offer_id":46895090663659,"sku":"5:100011069#M8x15","price":4.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"M8x18","offer_id":46895090630891,"sku":"5:100011070#M8x18","price":4.34,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"M8x20","offer_id":46895090467051,"sku":"5:100011071#M8x20","price":4.52,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"M8x25","offer_id":46895091024107,"sku":"5:202191809#M8x25","price":5.46,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"M10x15","offer_id":46895090991339,"sku":"5:202191810#M10x15","price":4.82,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"M10x20","offer_id":46895090401515,"sku":"5:202191814#M10x20","price":5.3,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"M10x25","offer_id":46895090368747,"sku":"5:202191815#M10x25","price":5.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0677\/1005\/8731\/files\/metal_hex_socket_insert_nut_m4_m10.webp?v=1758854781","url":"https:\/\/keszoox.com\/products\/metal-hex-socket-insert-nut-m4-m10-e-nut-wood-furniture-internal-external-thread","provider":"Keszoox","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
