Sure, but wouldnt the normal pressure of the floor pressing into the foot then immediately pop the t nut out of the top of the wood you nailed it into?
Well yeah, but you wouldn't use it that way for an adjustable foot -- that's a weird special case where the bolt is in compression. Normally the bolt is in tension, and that's when you'd want the T-nut on the opposite side of the wood.
