the best explanatory video you can find on youtube!!! Finally someone who explains it down to the smallest detail and especially on the most important things like e.g. the dimensions, the distances, how to measure it exactly, etc. I think it's absolutely great! Thanks for that. I'll definitely leave a like and a subscription there.

@bentswoodworking 2 года назад

@selcukbugan3769 2 года назад

@@bentswoodworking you can't even imagine how many videos I've watched on youtube on this topic, but nobody, absolutely NO ONE has gone into as many important details as you have!! everyone shows how to install the drawer slides in the body and then puts the finished drawer in, my grandma can do that too😊😂especially the distances, how you have to measure them, what dimensions are important and you have to pay attention to them, etc. are you explained and showed the most important thing excellently and your videos are great. Thanks a lot for this. Sorry for my english 🙈😊 Greetings from Germany!!😊

To locate the position of the locating pins in the rear of the slide, just install the drawer and lightly slams it a few times and the pins will leave an interference mark. Then drill your hole. No need for an expensive jig.

This is the best instructional video on RU-vid. You will understand if you have looked at Blum's instructions for glides or hinges. Blum should leverage this video.

Thank you for this video! After hours trying to decipher what Blum calls “instructions” I ran across your logical explanation of how to measure, cut and install these drawer glides.

@bentswoodworking Год назад

Glad it helped!

@argdkc2002 3 года назад

Great video! Don't forget about the side-to-side adjustment wheel below the hook on the back of the right runner. This allows the rear of the drawer to be adjusted in the same direction as the front so the drawer runs parallel in the opening. Also, if you're having front locking device engagement issues (i.e. the drawer isn't "clicking in" like it should), check your material thickness. Most 1/2" plywood is actually 12mm and this causes your runner to "stretch" further than it was designed. The quick fix for this is to make your box 1/8" shorter than the standard runner length (20-7/8" for a 21" runner) or add an 1/8" spacer between your locking devices and drawer sub-front.

I decided to build a keyboard shelf underneath a standing desk that I made. Found the two drawers with the Blum sliders already installed at Habbitat and searched all over RU-vid to find out how to install them. Much appreciated, sir.

@danblanchette5201 Год назад

I owe you, Jason. Your expertise led me to the right tools and setup to get my designed coffee table with a drawer off to a great start, and now proceeding to a great finish. One caveat: my 5 mm self-centering bit is bent (out of the box) so putting in the drawer slides took extra care. Thanks so much!

@sawdustadikt979 Год назад

What a great tutorial. I got a built in job and I’m trying these out for the first time. I really stepped in it this time. That’s a lot to keep track of compared to conventional tracks. Well, that’s my fault for not researching things before I offer them. Nothing else to do but follow through. I took a lot of notes am I’m super happy I found this video to clarify things as I go.

@OakHillMillworks 3 года назад

Fantastic video, Jason! So I bought the 563H slides at the beginning of February and overthought them forever. I read and re-read the installation instructions. I’m so pumped that I knew every single thing you talked about. I’m a much more hands on learner and so once I just got started, it was easier to conceptualize. I did the dry fit in my cabinet as well before assembling the drawer boxes. Great job on this video. I’m sure it will help tons.

Thank you so much for doing this video. I too was a little intimidated by these drawer slides but your video makes it look much easier than side mount, especially when it comes to actually installing the drawer. Matching up the slides on each side with side mounts is a real pain. This is definitely the best video I’ve found explaining this process. Thanks!!

Jason, thanks for demystifying the installation of the Blum undermount drawer slides. I have been hesitant to try these because Blum's literature on installing them isn't all that clear, so I thought they'd be really difficult to install.

This video is very useful and your effort in making it, appreciated. Although I studied the Blum documentation, this video put everything into context and made planning and ordering easier. The only thing I couldn't work out is if the slides will work with 18mm drawer sides. This is what all the main panels of the wardrobe are cut from.
