Forgive me if this has been covered. But I am working on a cabinet project with many drawer slides of varying heights. Using the LR32 is it possible to configure the lr32 to run three columns of holes 47mm from either side and one in the middle. Thus allowing adjustability when installing drawer slides?
With such a wide selection of drawer slides and drawer boxes, the design of cabinets has grown increasingly complicated. Consequently once the general layout of the entire cabinet project has been made, it is vital to select the actual make and model of drawer slides and the specific drawer boxes. Even if you want to build your own drawer boxes, it is best to make their dimensions the same as commercial drawer boxes from vendors.
Only occasionally is a middle column of holes needed to support drawer slides. Most side mount slides are designed to use the typical front and back hole columns.
Double check the specs, because not all makes and models use the 47mm in-set from the front. Only if the cabinet design follows System 32 standards with many brands will the rear off-set be 47mm. Bottom line is you need to read and understand the specs.
My firm specializes in wholesale production of high-quality custom cabinets mostly for installation on the Westside of Los Angeles County, California. Because these cabinets are custom designed and made for very specific homeowners, often they cannot be made using actual System 32 standards, which I have been teaching since 1950.
Normally if the only holes being made in a cabinet side we do that with holy rails and OF1010. We own several CNC nested routers of various sizes, but usually that approach is over-kill. One time we do use the CNC for such parts is pantry cabinets. The new thing is sliding shelves, which still need to adjust similarly to ordinary shelves. Those sliding shelves are similar to a minimum height drawer and rarely have an attached decorative front. The loading on these sliding shelves can be substantial so they tend to need a middle hole column, but that is not always on the literal middle of the space between the front and rear hole columns. We can do this with Holy rails, but trust me, it is so much more productive to task the CNC machines.
