Is this what you are trying to do? You may have to fiddle with the dimensions to get what you want but this is what I did.

Inset the left and right side of the cabinet (.5?) and then inset the left and right side of the door about the same. You will have to add to the overall left and right side of the cabinet to bring the depth back to what you need. Hover over the part to get the actual part size.

In this senerio, I don't see the hinges mounting any way at all. Maybe I don't see it.

OK, everybody. I revisited this little problem from the hinge engineer's perspective, and now have a set of specs I think will work.

This is for a 45 degree corner cabinet, using nominal 3/4\" (19mm) thickness stock for cabinet sides, with door thickness the same.

See the attached pic for the specs, which have baked into them the use of the Blum angled hinge and mounting plate, called out in the details.

Your mileage may vary, if you don't do 3mm door margins, as I do. If this is the case, disregard this and work it out with another hinge and plate.

As you can realize from looking at this 2D representation, the door when closed is fixed by its hinges, and its bearing against 1mm bumpers against the corner cab's top and deck angled front surfaces, which are specified as having a negative 12mm inset from the \"front\" of the cabinet.

Door reveals on flanking cabinets will have 7.8mm reveals on the sides that adjoin the corner cabinet.

Note that with this design, there is no straight-in sight line that enables a viewer to see through the door margins into the cabinet.

Well done Gene,

Looks like you have done your homework. And I must admit, pretty good too. I had to mention the hinge opposition, I wouldn't want you to spring for the doors only to find them not work...

Good job.
