hello all. new to the forum. I'm a plumber so go easy.
I'm building kitchen cabinets for my house. I decided to build a stand-alone 4" toe kick platform, level it, and set my cabinets on it. i built all of my base cabinets 24"deep and 30 1/2" tall, these are frameless cabinets, so far so good.
for example, a 24" wide single opening base cabinet using door type 14 and a slab style drawer front with a 5" upper drawer opening, the stretcher, drawer support, and bottom are 3/4" (0.705") birch ply and i want full overlay.
the program is telling me to make the drawer front 6 7/16 tall. this will fully overlay the front stretcher and the drawer support. it tells me to build my doors 24 13/16 tall. not accounting for any space between the bottom of the drawer front and the top of the door this totals 31 1/4". this leaves 3/4" hanging below the bottom of the 30 1/2" cabinet. i am installing toe kick drawers and need to adjust the program to make the door bottom flush with the bottom of the cabinet so the toe kick drawer front will clear, if possible. not the end of the world if i have to do the math at the saw, but 14 doors, i would rather use the program to do it.
thanks in advance.
