So I bought a really cheap, but nice looking, dresser when I moved last year. It's got single-action ball bearing slides.... so the drawer only comes out halfway.
No big deal, I thought. Measured the gap with a tape measure, and it sure looked close enough to 1/2", so I ordered some double-action slides.
Finally got around to using them today, and it turns out that the originals are closer to 10mm per side. So the drawer box is about 2-3mm too wide to go back in. [mad]
Before I disassemble 12 drawers..... and cut dados in 24 particle board panels...... and reassemble 12 drawers....... ugh...... Does anybody know if full-extension slides exist in the ~10mm size?
***EDIT- I've found that the standard size is 9.6mm, but no luck finding an actual product to buy yet.
