Great job explaining the installation. The H series are the 1/2"-5/8" box and the F series are the 5/8"-3/4". The H series are our standard drawer runners. Everyone loves them and they are so well made Great videos thanks

By far the best over explonation of how to measure and understand the over idea of how these apply.

how would you calculate for inset drawers with half blind dovetails that are not a box and a front that are separate

[@danielfeuermann6450]

Hi - in your excellent video you mention that the drawer length is exactly the dimension given in the part number. However, Blum's instructions show that the drawer length is N-10mm (N being the nominal length). I did it this way (N-10) but found that for the hook at the end to get into the drilled 6mm hole, the drawer was 10mm too short, I had to add a small piece of wood to make the hook fit into its hole (in the added piece). The part was a 560H300. there appears to be a contradiction between Blum's instruction and yours - while it appears that yours is the correct one.

I have boxes that are 20" in depth. Is there no Blum undermount that would fit that? Assuming you can't size up the 18" or size down the 21"?

Thank you! You explained these so amazingly compared to the company or other videos. The level of detail and charts especially. I found your video while searching for “ rear mounting brackets required on Blum 563h “. Additionally you helped be immensely. Is it always necessary to block out sides with an inset drawer front? It seems my face frames are thin enough that the slides and box side fit easily between frame stiles and the slides.

Thanks for the good explanation, you pointed out the important measurements which I have yet to find until I ran across this.

I've been looking all day for someone to spell out these details like you did in the first few minutes

Very helpful video. I just ordered two pairs of these slides from Woodworkers Hardware to try out. This video was helpful for planning out my project. Doing a small test project to see if I want to use these on my next kitchen cabinet build instead of the K+N side mount slides.

Superbly helpful - saved me hours of trial and error. Thank you for taking the time to make this video!

[@robbiefrancis3568]

Never made a cabinet with draw boxes before so this was really valuable and important information to do a good job. Thank you covering everything so meticulously.

Best video on Blum slide drawer box builds.

[@RKGraves]

Thank You Sir! Excellent video. I appreciate your time in making it and explaining the details of the runners and box

[@rockmonron2189]

Thanks for a very concise video! You've answered all unanswered questions!!!

[@OtisPlunk]

Best Explanation I've seen... Nice Work.

[@eoglander]

This is exactly what I needed. Cut out all of the flashy youtube editing and just give me the damn information! Thank you so much!

[@harleymutt8542]

The best video I found on the internet! That explains it all!! Thank you and great job!!

[@westcoastpacific4235]

Thanks for your great vlog.

I used to install these things in frameless cabs without thinking about it due to thorough the indexing of a line boring machine... most likely indexed by someone like you. Been a couple of years and you brought me right back up to speed for installing these on site with my current endeavors.
