Cutting Board Feet?

[Guy Dotan]

I use cabinet door bumpers like these

Me too. I drill a 5mm hole and use some silicon glue. Lee Valley carries them too and a bigger version as well:

As a former chef I would prefer to use both sides of the board. Use the non slip type of shelf liner to keep it from slipping.

I buy in bulk from McMaster Carr. Item description is: Round Bumper, Rubber, 1/2" Diameter, 1/4" H, 17/64" Counterbore, with Washer

Yes they are non-slip. I used them on our knife block.

I like rubber feet because it keeps the board from slipping around on the counter and keeps the board from being left in puddle of water while drying. I still do the finger groove on the ends.

Don't want to hijack this thread.......- I've debated feet over routered finger groove on the ends. That allows use on both sides. Somewhat personal preference. Opinions?

I use these: http://tinyurl.com/Cutting-Board-FeetPrior to screwing them in, I bore a 1/16" deep hole with a forstner bit to hold them I'm place. I like how the board sits at that height. Works great for me. Of course you can't see the feet on this board.

A wood knob will crack/split with moisture.
I have used corks from wine bottles. Sand on all sides to make attractive and glue to the board. Typically 1/2" height.
My wife saves corks so I have had about 3 gallons off them to pick through ones to get ones that match. So far I have not knocked them off.

There's no reason I can think of that moisture would cause a knob to crack. Is it sitting in water? My suggestion included padding on the bottom of the know which would act as a moisture barrier, if necessary.

I thought we couldn't post links to ebay items........

I buy rubber bumpers from Home Depot. You can get various sizes and colors. Eventually they dry out and crack but are easily replaced.

[David Spurr]

Yep, me too.

I use rubberized cork discs, 1.25" x .25"

I use a forstner bit to make a 1/8" deep recess, then silicone glue to hold the disc in the recess. Should last forever.
