![]() ![]() If I have a stack of drawers to put in, I start at the top and cut the same spacer down as I install the lower drawer runners.How To Install Blum Tandem Undermount Drawer Slides By Tiny House For a lower cost solution to the rockler jig, just use a piece of scrap ply to use as a spacer from the bottom of the cabinet. I installed a bunch of BLUM in my kitchen however they were inset drawers but the same concepts apply except the offset is from the inside of the face frame.īTW, I don't think the rockler jig is going to help you solve offset problem. I assume you have the drawer runners properly installed with the front of the runner butted up against the front of the drawer box. If you have a test drawer already, I would just measure the distance from the front of the drawer box to the front of the cabinet, offset your runner my that much and call it a day. The goal of course is to have the front of the box flush with the front of the cabinet ( for overlay false fronts). ![]() You must have a different model of slides. I assume this is what I want, a flush fit - am I incorrect here? If the false front is not flush to the cabinet sides, then my false front will sit proud.Ĭan anyone help? Do I just go with 5/8 setback (5 times the indicated amount), or am I missing something obvious here?įrom the BLUM documentation I have for 563 series, it is a 3mm (1/8") set back of the runner from the front of the cabinet. I need almost 5/8" setback to achieve a flush false front to cabinet side arrangement. My drawer is 5/8" thick material, so if the 4 mm setback is for 1/2" drawer stock (and I double it to 8 mm), I am still nowhere near a flush fit. If I go with a 4 mm setback, the false front drawer sticks way out in front of the cabinet sides. ![]() The instructions indicate a 4mm setback (for the runner) from the cabinet front (euro style). ![]() My problem is installing the runners on the cabinet sides. My drawers will be made from 5/8" maple, and have a false front from the existing kitchen. My test drawer build had some hiccups, but I now have a solid grasp on the dimensions and adjustments I need to make to get a good fit. I have built a test drawer to ensure I have all the drawer measurements correct. I went with Blum blumotion glides, so I need to build all new drawer boxes. I'm retrofitting some drawer slides into my existing kitchen to replace the crappy nylon roller variety. ![]()
