I am going to put sliding doors on a cabinet. Is there any reason not to
simply rout the tracks into the cabinet, rather than putting tracks in?
I don't think I have ever seen it done that way, but it should be rather
nices.
Thanks.

the headboard of my bed has these. 3/4" red oak.

the slots accumulate stuff, and the doors don't slide very well until i
vacuum it out and apply some sort of furniture wax. further, if the panel
warps at all, it won't slide. it wasn't made well, and the upper slot is a
bit wider than the doors are thick. this causes the door to tilt just a
little backwards, and this jams them in.
