LR32 questions from a new guy

[jake28]

Hey FOG friends,
Please forgive the newbie question on a topic covered dozens of times on this forum and elsewhere. (But I included a rendering with festool green, so I hope I get a pass this time.)

I'm building a set of kitchen cabinets and contemplating moving to metric, but having trouble deciding on drawer front heights relative to the true32 system.

Question: Is there a convenient system or standard of drawers front heights that work in metric, true32, festool magic, etc.

Until now, I've built cabinet carcasses 30" tall, standard sets of drawer boxes 4-6" tall, and cabinet fronts that were some multiple of 6" (6", 9", 12", 18", 24", 30"). This system provides modularity, nice visual lines, and the opportunity to mix and match drawers in adjacent carcasses.

Carcass Material: 3/4" baltic birch
Drawers: 1/2" baltic birch
Slides: Blum Tandem
Hinges: Blum

Gratefully,
jake

PS. Prior to posting, I consulted several LR32 posts, and watched all of Eric / The Poplar shop's videos on youtube. Perhaps the quarantine has made me a but duller than normal.

If you have a system that works for you, why change?

Do some research on Process 32 and the Cabinets Quick 32mm system.  I've attached a spreadsheet that I often use.

He settled on using the Blum Process32 system to build his kitchen cabinets. It has clear instructions and is all planned out for you already to use their Tandem slides. Just pick the drawer configuration you want to use and go. I just built a test cabinet following along with the LR-32 system and a 3D printed offset to hit the 46.5mm bottom start hole.

If you go this route your doors and drawers will all have a 0mm gap/reveal from the base of the cabinet and go up from there with a 10mm reveal to the top of the cabinet and 3mm reveal between each drawer face.
