By the way, the Jun/2015 issue of FWW has an interesting article on
"side hung drawers". The last step performed, to achieve "perfect"
reveals, was to plane the front of the drawer. It made me wonder
whether Swingman, and others, do that when they fit inset cabinet doors.

I hate to carry on these conversations with myself--it seems to bother
some folks. But I guess modern cabinet hinges are often so adjustable
that there are just "easier options" than planing.
What do you think, Bill?

Euro hinges tend to fit tight, meaning there is no slop in their action.
Typical hinges that have two wings to attach to the door and cabinet
often have a lot of slop and no adjustment at all for alignment.
I try to use Euro style hinges if at all possible.
