OK, I read through the recent thread http://www.sawmillcreek.org/showthre...slide-question. I ahve never used these, so I'm just learning.
I have a question on DEPTH of the cabinet from this document. http://www.blum.com/pdf/BUS/1100_tdm..._tdm_563_b.pdf
1. On page 6, under "Standard Length" photos, it shows the drawer depth in relation to "standard" U.S. cabinet design. It bases this on a measurement from the FRONT of the front face of the cabinet to the BACK face of the back panel. This is related to drawer depth, hence slide length.
2. On page 10 under "Step 1" the depth is measured from the FRONT of the face frame/box to the FRONT of the back panel.
3. On page 12 under "Overall Cabinet Depth", for 563 slides, it gives a depth for a particular drawer length.
Question A. Where do I base the "Overall Cabinet Depth" when I buy the slides. Is it from item 1 above or item 2 above? What constitutes a 24" cabinet based on the difference in these measurements?
Question B. If I want to have inset drawers, how much extra space do I need behind the posted depth do I need to backset the slide? How much depth behind the slide is left to the back front face once installed?
Thanks.
