I think you run into trouble on the finish ends unless you use a thick edgeband with regard to multiples of 24" and 12" plus saw kerfs. Solid tops are best, but you can do cleats in front and back. I don't work to 25" counters since all the jobs I do usually have stone or solid surface and are custom fit. Fastcap has a great one.ĭepths: I go with 600mm/23 3/4" so as to get two rips/sheet. While you're out, buy an English/metric tape measure.
FRAMELESS CABINET SCRIBE STRIPS HOW TO
It is a complete manual of how to build them and will answer any questions you have. Same thing with 12" standard uppers - does that mean you only get 3 strips instead of 4, as you would in FF cabinets? On the lower cabinets, do you use a solid top or just strips in the front to complete the box look?īest thing to do is run out and find Danny Proulx's book "Building Frameless Kitchen Cabinets". When building frameless cabinets, do you order 5' wide ply instead of 4'? Or do you cut your stock at 23 7/8" (plus edgebanding thickness)? Then you can get your two strips from your ply. So that means, when cutting stock from plywood, I can't get two strips out of it? 24"+24"+1/8" > 48". As far as components, I think if you build to net at least a 36" high countertop, you will have it covered.

Yes, the drawer fronts would be sized in the width to match the width of a door or pair of doors that are in line with it. 25" deep countertop overhangs doors by 1/8" to 3/16". I don't do frameless these days, but it is the same. I am assuming that I would keep the drawer fronts slightly inside of the total width so that they match the doors above, because the Euro hinges require 1/16"-1/8" inset from the outer edge of the cabinet. I am building a tall pantry unit with a pair of doors on top and a bank of three drawers below. The cabinets themselves are really 23 1/4" deep and the door makes up the last 3/4" for a total of 24", correct? How far down do you keep the components from the countertops (probably stone), 1/8", 1/4"? In 20 years of business, this is the first time a client has requested frameless from me.
