- Опубліковано 6 жов 2024
- In today's shop class, I show how I install the Blum Tandem Plus Soft Close Drawer Slide Kit for my, under the table saw cabinet. They seem a bit intimidating to install at first, but after you get the math down on how to construct your drawer box, as well as how to install the glides themselves. It is super easy, and I bet they will be your favorite glides to install.

Thank you for giving the clearance requirements of the drawer. I watched 7 other UA-camrs and none of them were as thorough as you.
You forgot to mention that if you stick to the metric dimensions you will be finished in half the time. No nine sixteenths plus half and inch etc. Thank god we, here in the UK got rid of imperial in the 70’s. Great instructional video, really enjoying your uploads.
Thankful that I found your video! I had a drawer that shampoo was spilled into. Because of you I learned where the release was located and was able to get the drawer out to properly clean it.
Glad I could help, sometimes those hardware companies make their products a puzzle
Thank you so much for this video, Brian. I've been wanting to use these slides, but to be honest, been a bit intimidated by installation. This is a great tutorial on it! This video deserves a million views!
Thank you for this video. It is very interesting and usefull for me. I am a furniture maker from Russia. I also use BLUM slides in my work. It is a good idea with frame under the slides.
such a good tutorial this helped me install my blum slides with ease THANK YOU
Thanks Brian Blumham, I’ve referenced this video about 62 times now
Me too, cuz I can never remember. lol
That was thorough- Blum better reach out to you with that $$$!
Lol, right?
Thank you so much for this video... You saved my sanity!
Great video!
Great video. Where do you typically get your slides and the jig? Links in the description would be helpful. Thanks
Thanks, I normally put links in the description. Unfortunately right now their is a supply chain issues due to all the crap in the world, so their is a shortage of hardware
As a result I was hesitant to put links to something that is out of stock..
These I got from Rickler and they do sell the jig.
Rickler is the most expensive place to get them.
I normally buy the from cabinet parts .com. But they were out last time I tried
Here are the links, Looks like most are instock

Good stuff to know.
I don't use the Blum slides I use another brand, the slides I use hold a little more weight than the Blum and I like the front clip better, but they all work the same, I think its a huge mistake not to use the clip with adjustment, whenever you move a piece anywhere it never sits the same and the drawer faces will move and you have to adjust them back, 1000 times easier to have the adjustment also the back clip is used for face frame applications and you wouldn't need it for the cabinet you did because it was frameless.
I have a framed cabinet. Would I used the clip in the back? Thanks for the tutorial. Of the Vicks Bit's what size did you use in the tutorial since there were three in the set?
Yes, you can order either a plastic clip or metal depending on your application for different setups and frame styles.
I don't remember the exact size of the bit, but I believe it was the smallest one.
When you hold the bit next to the screw you will know what size to use
I’m not convinced that jig for drilling the rear indexing hole is made correctly.
Did you notice too the locating pins on the slides themselves are in different positions right&left?
I ended up just drilling the right hand slides indexing hole by hand. Very strange
I haven't had a problem with things lining up using the jig. I wonder if the pins got moved out of their starting position.
The thing is design so that once the pins are in the holes, you can turn the plastic wheel to adjust them up and down, this adjusting the fit of the drawer.
Can you put a longer drawer on the slide, such as a 29" drawer on a 24" slide, and just attach the front clip further back? I cannot find undermount slides longer than 24". Thx,
I think it would be possible, you would have to mount the whole glide back as well. Their would be some fiddling around to get everything lined up. But I do think it's possible. The main problem would be that the drawer wouldn't open all the way.
@@Benham_Design Thanks for the quick reply. The drawers will be in a pantry with inches of space above each one, so not having full extension would not be a problem. I don't want to lose the extra 5" of length of the drawer.
Did you end up doing it? Did it work?
