What is the purpose of the top clearance on Movento (7 mm) & Tandem (6 mm) slides? Is there any reason for it beyond allowing for the vertical adjustment in the slides plus a bit of "extra" room? It doesn't seem to me that much if any room is needed for installing the drawers. I'm wondering because I have some stock that was cut for Tandem drawer sides, which will be 3 mm too wide for drawers going into the same space on Movento slides. The space is 160 mm and the sides are 140.
It seems to me that if I can potentially live with 1 mm of "headroom" (with the drawers adjusted all the way up) then I don't need to cut down the stock which would save me a bunch of trouble. Or looked at from another angle, if I don't need to adjust the drawers up then the most I need is 4 mm.
But, I'd rather not learn the hard way what I'm not seeing...
