Hey Mike, it was great talking to you the other day! I am going to order up the 22” soft close slides and I am going to give the jig a shot! Thanks again for calling me back.
great video; straight to the point and not a lot of excess talking and lots of visual reference as you talk through it! I don't know that I will ever need this but this was great all the same.
FANTASTIC! Mike youre are real hardware guru!
Very interesting and funny, well done!!!
Nice. Just finished 6 drawers yesterday. I’m fairly quick but this is easier and less prone to error.
nice vice especially needed since I'm a cabinet refacer.How could you use jig with blum draw glides
But the way, the holes on the jig are 3/32. The video says 9/32.
International shipping?
What about drawers that already have fronts attached?
If you're replacing an existing set of ball-bearing slides, you don't need a jig. Just remove the old set and install the new set using the same centerlines. The drawer will wind up in the same vertical location.
If you're replacing a different kind of slide (say, white epoxy coated bottom-mounts), use the following method:
1. Use a pencil to mark the cabinet face at the bottom of the drawer (protect the cabinet with painter's tape first).
2. Remove old slides and install the cabinet member slides using the jig as shown.
3. Measurement from the pencil line you made in step 1, up to the center of the cabinet member you just installed.
4. Hook your tape measure on the bottom of the mounted drawer front, and mark the side of the drawer, using the measurement you just took in step 3. This will be the location of the center of the drawer member.
5. When installing the drawer member slides, use the 2 vertical oblong holes first, so you can make minor up/down adjustments.
Constructive criticism, not bashing;
In your garbage can pullout example, your jig drills holes in the exact same location as the shelf pin holes. Those holes are "system 32" hole pattern which are purposefully designed to work with drawer slides and screws sized for the hole diameter (5mm, 8mm, 1/4" etc.). Skip drilling the pilot hole in the carcass and just use the appropriate screw to attach the slide where desired. Make the spacer relative to slide position and drill pilot holes in drawer the same way as described in video.
Only difference is using the predrilled holes as intended rather than drilling new holes between the "shelf pin" pattern. That predetermined pattern is used for shelf pins, hinge plates **and** drawer slides. Premade side spacers are also available to use the system 32 holes rather than using rear mounts on face frame cabinets, simply by measuring face frame edge to carcass side and ordering the correct size spacer; mount the rear of the slide first, use your jig to make the slide square to the front, vix bit the front mount hole and insert screw.
Actually, I’m not aware of any brand of ball bearing slides that come with the 5mm dia. “euro screws” that you’d need in order to use the “system holes” on some cabinets. Even if they did, it’s hard to imagine the user could get the job done in 90 seconds.
👍👍👍
I’m watching this in 2022. My man over here is using jigs from 2080
Not complicated so simple

As much as I like kale salad, I like ribeye more (medium rare)
Clever but MDF board is a 100% deal breaker for me . im so triggered and irrational about it , i won't even begin to listen to any reasonable argument for its use 😂
