Building some kitchen cabinets and about to start the drawers. I picked up a set of blum slides from a cabinet show closing a few months back. It's the H563 series. Trying to get a handle on the dimensions I need. Below is a link of the installation guide. I think I got the jist but still a little unsure of a couple of things. Can someone walk me through this. For example I have one opening that is 22-7/8" from back of cabinet to back of face frame, 17-1/2" wide and 5" tall. The fronts aren't milled yet so I can make them any thickness. The face frame are exactly 3/4" thick.
They say that inside drawer width = opening width minus 42. But doesn't the drawer thickness have to be part of the equation?
What should the depth be. The full model of the slide is h563h533-02b. Does that mean it should be exactly 21"
Also is it a good idea to buy the blum jigs to install the clips if I only have 8 drawers? Does the angle of the of the pilot hole have to be dead on?
Thanks for any help.
