Joystick Screws?

I have mine in MDF.  Worked well so far.  You have the force of gravity on your side, so I guess it wouldn't be too likely that the T-Nuts would come loose.

I cut a counsink on a drill bit and made the holes just a tad smaller then the screw I was using so it still threads tight but I just have mine screwed in and have not had any problems at all and I too use mdf but I use 3/4" mdf with formica.

Wouldn't it be the pinch between the T-Nut and bolt and not the force of gravity?

Definitely pinches the wood inbetween.  That's what the teeth are there for, to bite into the wood, hold in, and prevent spinning.
