Edit dovetail drawers parts

Post by DanFecteau »

Dovetail drawers are great, we do a lot of em but we really need to be able to modify the parts for the tandem blumotion slides to fit......we have to mahine opening in the back of the drawer, that would save us a whole lot of time........It would be nice if we would be able to do it very soon.......

Thanks a lot for your good work !

with out a doubt...the ability to edit drawer parts opens a whole lot of opportunities!

I'm sure it's in the works...

For the tandem slides can't you use a slide in bottom with a 1/2inch offset?

Yes, but there also needs to be a notch in the back to clear the slide. A hloe is also needed.

Yes, part editor cuts in drawers would be great,inserts,scoop front pull outs,even the ability to add partitions similar to shelves and partiions in cabinets would be great without having to use the part editor would be awsome..Gets my vote..... :D :D

Set the back of your drawer to flush Dan and you won't need to notch it.

Yeah, but how about the look of the side of my drawer, the dovetail ? It brings another problem.....it's not the best way to go

Mike Murray just cut some drawers for me with a flush back and a recessed slide-in bottom that turned out awesome. Visually there's not really a difference, since you can't see the back of the drawer once it's installed anyway. The beauty of it, to me, is that I can still use any drawer slide I want to, therefore there's no need to have more than one style drawerbox in my library.

That being said, I would like the drawer parts to be editable. I want everything to be editable. :wink:
