very helpful info.I was trying to mock it up with scrap wood and not sure until I found this video.Thankyou for the complete informational video
I've been looking all day for someone to spell out these details like you did in the first few minutes
Superbly helpful - saved me hours of trial and error. Thank you for taking the time to make this video!
By far the best over explonation of how to measure and understand the over idea of how these apply.
Great job explaining the installation. The H series are the 1/2"-5/8" box and the F series are the 5/8"-3/4". The H series are our standard drawer runners. Everyone loves them and they are so well made Great videos thanks
Thanks for the good explanation, you pointed out the important measurements which I have yet to find until I ran across this.
Never made a cabinet with draw boxes before so this was really valuable and important information to do a good job. Thank you covering everything so meticulously.
Best video on Blum slide drawer box builds.
Thank You Sir
Glad it was helpful!
The best video I found on the internet! That explains it all!! Thank you and great job!!
Glad it was helpful!
This is exactly what I needed. Cut out all of the flashy youtube editing and just give me the damn information! Thank you so much!
Glad you enjoyed, thank you for watching :)
Thanks for a very concise video! You've answered all unanswered questions!!!
Thank You Sir! Excellent video. I appreciate your time in making it and explaining the details of the runners and box
Best Explanation I've seen... Nice Work.
Excellent!
Very helpful video. I just ordered two pairs of these slides from Woodworkers Hardware to try out. This video was helpful for planning out my project. Doing a small test project to see if I want to use these on my next kitchen cabinet build instead of the K+N side mount slides.
Very welcome!
Great details thank you
Thank you! You did an awesome job of explaining how to determine the drawer dimensions.
Excellent video explaining how to install the drawer runners.
Glad it was helpful!
I used to install these things in frameless cabs without thinking about it due to thorough the indexing of a line boring machine... most likely indexed by someone like you. Been a couple of years and you brought me right back up to speed for installing these on site with my current endeavors.
Thanks for your great vlog.
Best tutorial on youtube! Thank you!
FANTASTIC video! Thank you!
An amazing sequence of videos.
Larry where is the Cat ?
Wow great video, you didn't leave anything out!
Thank you, we are glad you enjoyed it!
man this is een good prof video PERFECT GREATS UIT BELGIUM
Brilliant thanks a lot for these really informative vids
Very nicely done.
Thank you! You explained these so amazingly compared to the company or other videos. The level of detail and charts especially. I found your video while searching for “ rear mounting brackets required on Blum 563h “. Additionally you helped be immensely. Is it always necessary to block out sides with an inset drawer front? It seems my face frames are thin enough that the slides and box side fit easily between frame stiles and the slides.
wow i cant help but think that it must smell like an old man and the two shirtless 9yo behind the camera so that way he is all ways thinking about wood weather it be his the boy or that box but now he wants to show every one his love for dove tail in wood boxes but at last it must end his secrets never revealed all the pain this man has caused buried under 6 foot of dirt witch is more then the mandatory minimum of 30mm he was talking about in this video nobody learned shit here cause this draft dogging hippy was to busy making boxes for non other than OBAMA *gasp* * cough cough* go to hell hippy
Hi - in your excellent video you mention that the drawer length is exactly the dimension given in the part number. However, Blum's instructions show that the drawer length is N-10mm (N being the nominal length). I did it this way (N-10) but found that for the hook at the end to get into the drilled 6mm hole, the drawer was 10mm too short, I had to add a small piece of wood to make the hook fit into its hole (in the added piece). The part was a 560H300. there appears to be a contradiction between Blum's instruction and yours - while it appears that yours is the correct one.
Blum is Notorious for this. I just did a whole video on this subject last week, check it out ua-cam.com/video/g8l2s-n4I3E/v-deo.html
@@WoodworkersHardware thank you very much! that is very helpful.
@@WoodworkersHardware Hi Daniel, This is Larry, I made the video. What Blum is notorious for is not making mistakes. I see by the part number you give that this is a slide, possibly from a European catalog. In America we have the B563H-3050 slide from the 563H series of slides. I have heard (dont know for sure) that in some parts of the world Blum is using the nominal length for calculations.
Good video
how would you calculate for inset drawers with half blind dovetails that are not a box and a front that are separate
Excelent video
I have boxes that are 20" in depth. Is there no Blum undermount that would fit that? Assuming you can't size up the 18" or size down the 21"?
This is a great explanation, thank you!
One comment- I believe these slides can be mounted also to the bottom of the cabinet (slide out recycle/trash bin drawer applications). So in that scenario are there holes for mounting the brackets for the slides to the bottom of the cabinet?
Hi - I just mounted these slides (560H, 300mm) at the bottom of a cabinet - makes it easy to get them horizontal and aligned. However, they have no holes for mounting down. I had to attatch them on the sides.
Great video, perfectly explained, Blum should take a leaf out of your book! - one question. If I buy 21'' runners do I make my drawer box the same length or shorter and if so by how much?
Good question! The 21" inch runners would require a drawer box that is exactly 21". Happy building!
Great video. Thanks for the content. Can you please tell me why you'd need an extra inch behind the box (at the back of the cabinet)? I have a cabinet that is 13 1/4 inches deep, I want to have an inset drawer face (hoping for 5/8 or thicker material) and I am using 12 inch tandem slides. I think it would work but would leave me almost right against the back of the cabinet... Thanks for your help!
It's to accommodate the hooks that go into the back of the drawer box. Blum specifies a minimum cabinet depth of 12-29/32" for the 563H3050B SKU, which you seem to be over. Check their specifications here www.blum.com/us/en/products/runnersystems/tandem/assembly/
@@WoodworkersHardware Thank you for the info. I noticed that on my instructions they are listed as 706/766H. Are these the same model as the one's referenced in the links?
I am using the f series drawer slides. I want to use 5/8 material. Do I use the 1 15/16 calculation for figuring out how wide to make my drawer boxes
I have a 19.5" drawer box in a 24" cabinet. If I use 21" slides, I can use the rear mounting bracket but hook won't reach the back the drawer box. I am new to this. I assume I can add side blocks for side mounting if possible. If I use 18" slides, the hook can rear the rear holes but they are too short for the locking mechanism in the front. So which slides should I use for my drawers.
Might be easier to talk directly about this one, give us a call and we can answer your questions (800) 383-0130
@@WoodworkersHardwareStick with the 21" slides. Add 1.5" block to the back of the drawer box so the total lenght of the box is 21" where the hooks engage with the drawer box. One block on each side. You will have to drill holes in the blocks that you add to you drawer box. The back of your drawer box will look funny but it will work. Easier than building a new box. Larry K.
@@larrykoob507 Thanks. That seems to be the easiest way. I guess I can nail a 2x4 on the back.
what is the blum part no. for the rear mounting bracket ?
You can find the standard rear mount brackets here: www.wwhardware.com/blum-tandem-rear-mounting-bracket-b295-3750
the blum part number on those is 295.3750.03
What's the Difference between the H and the F Series?
H is for 5/8 - 1/2 inch thickness material, F is for 3/4 inch thickness material
Can you use these on a flat bottom drawer??
Good question! No you cannot. You will require a 1/2" cavity under there as we describe in the video. You can also check out this PDF of Blum's literature at this link, page 11 is what you're looking for. www.blum.com/file/tdmbmn_ep_dok_bus?country=us&language=en
@@WoodworkersHardware Thanks so much! Do you know of any of these type of slides that will work with flat bottom drawers? Mine have metal sides and I'm not sure how to mount regular slides to them?? Thanks again!
Give us a call at (800) 383-0130 so we can chat about what you got going on
Probably a very nice guy. Probably someone's grandfather, so I hesitate to trash his vid. But this video is painfully slow. The camera should be close up so we can see the details. Not of him and the whole room
Thank you the feedback, we are still working on our production quality and trying to help people understand the process. Always trying to improve. Check back again in the future and we should be doing better. Thank you
Use speed control
Hi Spencer. I did the video and I don't like watching it either. Painfully slow! Still, the information is correct and helpful to someone making their first drawer box with Tandems. If you think that is bad you should watch the one on the Movento.
