Re: Drawer Sides Best Practices
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýHi Bryce,What is the advantage of adding the drawer after the drawer glue up? Obviously, it is one less thing to worry about but is it more than that? Does it help with the way you clamp, or something else? If your method is followed, would there be any drawback if the back and front are reversed? In which case, the bottom can be made a bit longer and it will be self contained by the decorative applied drawer front.

? Hi Kamal,
I'm sorry i'm so late to reply to your question. You may have already figured it out, but in case you haven't, or simply want to give this way a go in the future, i have attached a photo of a quick sketch i did to help explain what i was eluding to.
In the drawing, i have the sides, back and front of the drawer box laid out so you see the grooves in all parts except for the back. That is cut to the width of the sides from the top edge to the top of the groove. When making the groove in the sides back and front, you will need to allow for the thickness of the material being used for the drawer bottom, and i think it's =/- 13mm for Blum undermount slides. (Just check, as i mostly use Salice these days)
When running the grooves with a dado stack, there shouldn't be any issue with the toe out of the fence. If there is, then you definitely need to fix your fence as there shouldn't be that much run out.?
Hope this helps,
Regards,
?
Bryce
