    A few cleat ideas ua-cam.com/video/SiDYhnGTW90/v-deo.htmlsi=dC7bCAlaBx86yE7l

    Use 3/4 cleats and you won’t have 1/10 the problems. You have less than 1/4 of area for the cleat to grab

      For what I'm hanging ¼" plywood is fine. Most of my big stuff is in a drawer or cabinet.

    Why do you not put simple embedded rotating inserts on the lower side of the cleat, so that you are still able to fix heavy things on it ?

    Very nice cabinet you made. I like the double layer. As far as the French cleats go, you should see "At a Glimpse" channel on how he makes his French cleats. As far I am concerned, he's the king of FCS. Those that you made with the shim blocks on either side maybe good for very lite weight items like screw drivers, but I would never use that size to hold a powertool on. The edge is going to become brittle over time, and splinter off. I wouldn't go any smaller than 1/4"-6mm or 3/8-8.6mm. I use this method so they are easily movable if I want to add more items. I've also hung cabinets with them but I used 5/8" plywood. To hang them on. I would have used 3/4", but at the time, my supplier was out.

    French cleat is made for NOT having to insert anything from the side. And your idea is an idea, but not as a french cleat at all. And you will not be able to put any heavy thing on it.

      I abandoned that Idea and went with standard cleats. I did use 1/4" plywood and it works fine with the tools I have put on them.

      It came with a rolling stand (DW7440RS). All of the DW job site saws are similar and rated well. Mine can't take a dado blade but some can.
      If you're thinking about a rolling stand check out the Harbor Freight stand, lots of good reviews.

      Yes it was 5mm Luan. I'm stepping it up to 1/4" for my cabinet. For me 3/4" is overkill.

    That is ridiculous. That isn't "easy to remove". At least you could put a dowel in those stoppers.
    I've never seen someone with a table saw plus saw fence who manages to screw every single cut. 🤦‍♀
    You could've used a dull hand saw and won't see a difference - that might have avoided sharp edges, though...

    Ciao. Interessandi, ma lo spesdore delle french cleat che hai tagliato sono molto sottivi. Per contenere un certo peso di alcuni utensili il minimo dovrebbe essere tra 15 e 18 mm. Difatti le mie sono 28mm tengo anche utensili pesanti. È un sonsiglio. La chiusura block é una idea ottima. Saluti. Modesto
