Bottom Information
 
  • routed in 1/4” deep on all 4 sides.
  • thicknesses available: 1/4”, 3/8”, and 1/2”.
  • bottoms are pinned with 1/2” brads and sealed with hot melt glue.
  • bottom dado is concealed within dovetail joint (except with 1/2” bottom).
Inset options for 1/4” and 3/8” thick bottoms
 

1/4”, 3/8”, 1/2”, and 9/16” insets are available to match various drawer slides.

For even inch height boxes with 3/8” thick bottoms and a 9/16” inset, we recommend that 1/8” be added to the drawer box height to eliminate a dovetail void at the top of the box.

Inset options for 1/2” thick bottoms
 
  • 1/4”, 3/8”, 1/2”, and 9/16” insets are available to match various drawer slides.
  • Since 1/2” thick bottoms do not fit cleanly between the dovetails the following construction methods are offered.
  • When ordering please indicate the construction method.
    Construction Method 1 Results with small voids above and below the lowest dovetail, which are puttied.
    Construction Method 2 Flush mount option maximizes interior space. Could result with void below lowest dovetail depending on height and inset of box. Any voids are puttied.

Flush Mount Options
 

Flush and recessed mount construction can be ordered for 1/2” and 5/8” thick sides, and either 1/4” or 3/8” thick bottoms. This option is not offered for melamine drawers.

Flush mount Bottoms are attached to the bottom of the sides, NO Rout.
Recessed Flush mount Bottoms are routed into the bottom of the sides.
