    Thanks for a simplified, straightforward method without all the unnecessary commentary! Great job!

    Yes, this is exactly what I was looking for to do this upgrade including the measurements of the new slides, rather than going by the old slides. Great demonstration of how to install with cool tips with marking the existing drawer and how to centre the new pieces. Thanks so much for the post!!

      Should the drawers be smooth opening? I find the first one a little stiff opening but closes nicely@@Woodworkerexpress

    Pretty top end add-on to some pretty bottom end drawers.

    My vanity has suspended slides (i.e., they are only attached on the ends; there's no middle board). Can I still use there slides? Must I add a board into which I screw in new slides?

    • @Woodworkerexpress

      You can get the rear mounting socket for the new slides that would work just as your original slides do. Or yes, you can block out the cabinet instead

    I’m enthusiastic to take up the challenge and replace our kitchen drawer slider. Your video has built up my enthusiasm. So, our drawer’s are 21 ¾ inches depth what slider length should we purchase? 22 inch or 24 inch?
    We have the required ½ inch at either side.
    Thanks for your detailed video.

    • @AM-nk7it

      Are you planning to install a slider longer than the drawer? I don't think so, right? Has to be the same size or smaller.

    So what if I measure my drawer and it measures just below 17"? Is it better to size down, or try to find a more precise fit

    Question for you ! Haha hope you don’t mind me asking !
    Anyhow can this slide be used for something other than a drawer ,,
    Meaning I have a Breville toaster oven like and it sits on the counter top tho it sits to deep and when on the heat and yes smoke at time raise up and grease stains my upper cabinet doors …
    I was wondering if I sat the Breville on these rollers hinge’s that if ever I wanted to run the Breville I could just slide the Breville forward even 2 or 3 inches and it seems to make a difference when I pull it out manually ! The second question is i don’t won’t holes on my counter to wreck anything , so I wonder if it’s just sitting on these roller hinges if it would slide out just by the weight of it ?
    Like to hear your comment or another suggestion 😩🤣👍

    • @Woodworkerexpress
      @Woodworkerexpress  Рік тому

      Well! You definitely do not want to install the slides to the countertop.
      I would recommend making a platform to mount the slides to and and then add a shelf to it (as the drawer) and then sit the Breville on it. Does that make sense?

    • @Woodworkerexpress
      @Woodworkerexpress  2 роки тому +4

      Thanks! I was looking for a universal measurement that would work for most slides. You can go less of course, as long as the slide clears any obstructions.

      Yep! They will work perfectly. You will actually have a little more extension of the drawer so its a bonus

    If you were going to burn 1 inch on the tape measure, you need to do it on both side, because sometimes tape measure is 1/16 th of an inch off when you hook or push against Whatever your measuring.

    • @Woodworkerexpress
      @Woodworkerexpress  8 місяців тому

      Very good advice! I was assuming that your tape measure has been inspected and checked for accuracy first!
