Stretchers, screw strips and toe kicks
Post by C2 on Nov 6^th, 2009, 06:22am

Maybe I am missing something...but why does CP not include stretchers and screw strips in cutlist layouts?

The next question is, If you don't dado your base bottoms what kind of bracing should you add under it?

The last question is, how are you doing your toe kicks? If you leave the toe kick at say 4" you end up with a gap between the bottom and the top of the toe kick...

Any and all advice is appreciated!

Stretchers and screw strips can be made from either solid wood or sheet goods, depending on the situation or personal preference. Until I add a way to select between the two you can manually add them to the panel optimizer.
