I also had
to do a bit of surgery on one cabinet because the drawer opening was
about 1/8" too narrow. Fein MultiMaster to the rescue!!

In that situation I have been known to set the table saw blade the same
height as the drawer side drawer slide, set the fence, run the whole
drawer though, shaving off 1/16" off each drawer side.

That 1/16" deep "dado" just cut is nicely hidden by the drawer slide.

Thanks to everyone for the advice and recommendations.
The KV8500 slides were indeed very heavy duty and up to the task. I
have some reservations about the plastic parts on them, but I'll hold
off judgment until I get called back because one of them broke. :-) The
jury is also still out on the soft-close adapters but they seem to
function well. Time will tell.

Been using KV's exclusively for years and have never had a call back due
to the plastic bits.

I have indeed broken some when forcing improperly installed drawers open
as a last resort, but, with the non-handed design, it is usually an
easy, no adjustment, replacement.

Everything took me thrice as long as I initially thought it would-- par
for the course for new ventures like this. But I picked up some skills
and knowledge that will help the next repair job go a lot faster. Bottom
line is the client was thrilled. Check out this review they left for me
on the Thumbtack website I use for leads...

5/5 Stars
"He redid our slides for our cabinets. They were breaking constantly and
we didn't know if they were fixable. When Mike came to look at them, he
talked to us about everything that was wrong with them and what he could
do to make them work again. He was AMAZING! If anyone were to ask for a
handyman contact I would give them his information immediately. He is
VERY trustworthy & works very hard. You can also tell he loves what he
does and he wants to make sure every job he does he completes 110%. He
is amazing!!!"

I'll take it. :-)

Nothing more, other than that the check went through, need be said.

Good job!
