    For upper cabinets, I always use(d) the vertical orientation as the cabinets are opened frequently and are at eye level. As the typical cut is an 11 1/4 rip you won't have much waste. If uppers are...

    How about this $10 one?

    Its just a plastic one for 35mm ones. For repetitive holes you could use a story stick and mark from there.

    from the pics it appears..

    you finished them in place. If so, why did you choose not to finish them in the shop. I know that Deft has some strong fumes and it must have been tough in the house for a while.
