wow i cant help but think that it must smell like an old man and the two shirtless 9yo behind the camera so that way he is all ways thinking about wood weather it be his the boy or that box but now he wants to show every one his love for dove tail in wood boxes but at last it must end his secrets never revealed all the pain this man has caused buried under 6 foot of dirt witch is more then the mandatory minimum of 30mm he was talking about in this video nobody learned shit here cause this draft dogging hippy was to busy making boxes for non other than OBAMA *gasp* * cough cough* go to hell hippy

Thank you, we are glad you enjoyed it!

Hi - I just mounted these slides (560H, 300mm) at the bottom of a cabinet - makes it easy to get them horizontal and aligned. However, they have no holes for mounting down. I had to attatch them on the sides.

Good question! The 21" inch runners would require a drawer box that is exactly 21". Happy building!

Blum is Notorious for this. I just did a whole video on this subject last week, check it out ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-g8l2s-n4I3E.html

@@WoodworkersHardware thank you very much! that is very helpful.

@@WoodworkersHardware Hi Daniel, This is Larry, I made the video. What Blum is notorious for is not making mistakes. I see by the part number you give that this is a slide, possibly from a European catalog. In America we have the B563H-3050 slide from the 563H series of slides. I have heard (dont know for sure) that in some parts of the world Blum is using the nominal length for calculations.

It's to accommodate the hooks that go into the back of the drawer box. Blum specifies a minimum cabinet depth of 12-29/32" for the 563H3050B SKU, which you seem to be over. Check their specifications here www.blum.com/us/en/products/runnersystems/tandem/assembly/

@@WoodworkersHardware Thank you for the info. I noticed that on my instructions they are listed as 706/766H. Are these the same model as the one's referenced in the links?

Might be easier to talk directly about this one, give us a call and we can answer your questions (800) 383-0130

@@WoodworkersHardwareStick with the 21" slides. Add 1.5" block to the back of the drawer box so the total lenght of the box is 21" where the hooks engage with the drawer box. One block on each side. You will have to drill holes in the blocks that you add to you drawer box. The back of your drawer box will look funny but it will work. Easier than building a new box. Larry K.

@@larrykoob507 Thanks. That seems to be the easiest way. I guess I can nail a 2x4 on the back.

You can find the standard rear mount brackets here: www.wwhardware.com/blum-tandem-rear-mounting-bracket-b295-3750 the blum part number on those is 295.3750.03

Good question! No you cannot. You will require a 1/2" cavity under there as we describe in the video. You can also check out this PDF of Blum's literature at this link, page 11 is what you're looking for. www.blum.com/file/tdmbmn_ep_dok_bus?country=us&language=en

@@WoodworkersHardware Thanks so much! Do you know of any of these type of slides that will work with flat bottom drawers? Mine have metal sides and I'm not sure how to mount regular slides to them?? Thanks again!

Give us a call at (800) 383-0130 so we can chat about what you got going on

H is for 5/8 - 1/2 inch thickness material, F is for 3/4 inch thickness material

Thank you the feedback, we are still working on our production quality and trying to help people understand the process. Always trying to improve. Check back again in the future and we should be doing better. Thank you

Use speed control

Hi Spencer. I did the video and I don't like watching it either. Painfully slow! Still, the information is correct and helpful to someone making their first drawer box with Tandems. If you think that is bad you should watch the one on the Movento.
