I always have a pack of them (in each size) in the cupboard. It's a rare
MDF jig that doesn't have at least one of them in there somewhere.

So far, I've gotten by with T-nuts.

I've never been too keen on those in MDF. The screw-in inserts also
mount from the face side, which is sometimes useful.

I know it's overkill, but I use threaded inserts in tabletops to hold the
fastener that attaches the top to the base. I've seen ones that are
intended to be driven with a flat screwdriver, and others (like the ones at
McFeelys) that are driven with an hex key. I far prefer the hex key-driven
ones and use a T-handled hex driver.
