Default Advice needed on drawer sliders

Thank you all. This is a v7 version:

http://tinyurl.com/4ywofjj

I am using googles group to post, gave up my old Forte years ago, anyway, there is no setting I am aware of for limiting line width.

The rails on the back and sides are mortise and tenon. But I thought it would look weird on the front if I had the rails go all the way over and then all these pieces for stiles, so I did the biscuit thing. I'm not a huge fan, but I figure I will back it all up with 4 cross pieces of ply behind the maple and pocket join and glue those to the legs. I also plan on putting a bottom in of either 3/4 ply or MDF to further strengthen it.

Gonna need 3 men and a small boy to move it, but what the hell.

Default Advice needed on drawer sliders

So, if I have 20 1/2" what size drawer slide do I get? How much play is there in these things?


Depends on the slides. Look on the manufacturer's site for installation
instructions. The Blum 21" slides require 21 3/4" on the inside, so they're
out. I don't know what Rockler is selling because Blum doesn't show a 20"
model. I just adjusted the cabinet I'm working on to accommodate the 21 3/4"
slides. It's tight. ;-)
