Rear Toe Kick

Post by Heath Doty »

Hey all,

I've got another challenge... Rear Toe Kick.

I'm designing some transaction counter cabinets. These are cabinets where a clerk at a store stands at the front of the cabinet where the drawer/doors would be and a customer stands on the other side (the back).

I'm looking for help with putting a toe kick on the back.

I've cut out the lower back portion of each side panel of the cabinet. I don't see any provision in the toe kick tab to add a toe kick in the back of a cabinet in the main parameters/construction settings. So I tried putting a stretcher back there. No problem but the stretcher runs between the inside surfaces and I need the part to span from side panel to side panel on the outside surfaces. So say my cabinet is 25.5" wide... I need that part to be 25.5" as well.

So essentially I think I need to make this a "nailer" really... surface mounted on the back face of those notches I cut out. Any ideas?

Thanks!

Heath

Whoa, figger'd it out.

Cut out the side panels at the rear and found that in the adjust stretcher mode there were two additional parameters (#5 and #6) that I could force to negative numbers, lock down and make that stretcher sit out on the cut faces of those side panels to make a rear toe kick. :beer:
