General weight capacity for the slides: Epoxy - 75# Side mount - 75#-100# Undermount - 75#-100# Side mount and under-mount slides are offered in heavy-duty versions that can give you a much higher capacity than 100 pounds.
Great explanation of each type of slide and their installation. My experience is limited to the side mount but after watching your video I'm going to try the undermount on my next project.
Not optimal use of Kreg jig - take a look at any product video. The gray tab should be exposed and helps to adjust height. After mounting rail, you can rotate and clamp outside - as a support for drawer - and you don't need to measure where rest of mounting should be...
Great tutorial. Thank you. i have a question. If my drawer box is 28" deep and have side mount drawer slides that are only 24" is there a way to still use the 24" drawer slides to fully extend?
What about making drawers when you don't use face frames? I was hoping to see how you do inset drawers without face frames. Can you do a video for cabinets without face frames?
I recently brought a 2nd desk with file cabinet drawers well in the move the drawers were taken out and I'm having a helluva time to line them up and put them in. No luck any suggestions..
Thank you for your time. Why does a square drawer, with side mounts installed parallel on both the drawer and carcass slide in cockeyed? What I mean by cockeyed is the right front slides in correctly but the left front doesn’t quite go into the carcass by about 1/4”-1/2”. Can you tell me what I’m doing incorrectly?

thanks for this video, you led me to the fastcap solution which appears to be the perfect solution for our application.

Andy, great video! Good to see you making videos again!!! Always enjoy them!
Thank you for this video. I learned a few things.
Good choice ,,, also in our shop we make "Cadillac" furniture, hence 100% Blum ...
What type of jig would you use if you dont have face frames
Great job under mount is better
Thanks for sharing

Can you use the same undermount for inset drawers?
What about the common underside Wood Center Mount Drawer slides found in dresser drawers or kid's furniure? I hate them.

Rosanne Farrell my guess is the case is out of square?
Curious on if there is any huge weight capacity differences between the 3 types of hardware you covered in the video.
Josh Meister great point! I should have included that. I will make a pinned comment with this topic.
