![]() ![]() Given that the under mound slides sit just inside the drawer sides it seems risky. Beyond that, the box itself has to be 1/2" less than the width of the cabinet, and if I cut down the fronts and backs I will reduce the width of the drawer which will take me over that 1/2". Cutting down the wood won't impact that number. The reason is that the thickest material you can use for the slides (as prescribed by Accuride's literature) is 5/8". ![]() While I could just account for that 1/32 by cutting my fronts and backs that much shorter, that solution won't address the issue (and might compound it). So, I could just take all that cut lumber (28 pieces) back to the mill and have them planed down the extra 1/32 if needed. meaning once I do make the cuts for the locking rabbets they will fit together to make exactly the size box needed. All the wood is otherwise cut to the "exact lengths" needed to assemble the drawers. the dadoes on the sides, the locking part on the cross members. To clarify, I've cut my material to length. Unless you really are referring to the nylon bearing side mounts that that attach to the drawer box on the bottom using a right angle piece of steel and sometimes referred to as bottom mounts although the track is actually a side mount. Regardless most drawer glides can accept a 1/32" but I can't picture why it's important at all in an undermount drawer glide. If the drawers are already assembled removing such a small amount is relatively quick with a belt sander or even an aggressive RO since you a really talking about 1/64" on both sides. Setting up a planer to remove 1/64" from scratch is very difficult to do. If you haven't made the final cuts yet why don't you just trim the front and back pieces 1/32"? If you have the wood remilled you will end up 1/32" short just as likely. First and foremost are the drawers already assembled or at least cut? The fact that you are considering having them remilled implies they are not and you mention many "pending" cuts. ![]()
