  • Hi hope you’re well. So the ‘industry standard’ used in kitchen fits and the like are that doors should be the carcass height minus 5mm, and the carcass width, minus 4 mm, and that works well for most folks in the business. But as bespoke makers I don’t think it’s unreasonable to aim for something with slightly higher tolerances and tighter shut-lines, and this is how I do mine. Enjoy!

    I find it good to mark the bottom edge of the doors with some sort of number, as well as inside the pocket for the hinges (after applying finish). This helps the owner keep them in order should they need to remove them for some reason.

    I have to admit I'd never thought about this issue to this degree of detail, obviously with "off the shelf" bought cabinets all the doors are standard sizes and you just average out the gaps the best you can !

    Hi Peter
    We always made 2mm total reveal or gap, 1mm each side of each piece of fronts (doors or drawers).
    We never let a terminal box whitout terminal panel (because the slit or space between door and side).
    At the left of the composition we also put a terminal panel, it could be a narrow panel and the result is always a look like Inset fronts, and if you have drawers near the wall they never touch the wall while running.

    Thanks to guidance from your videos I've just completed a built-in wardrobe and linen closet all with inset doors to match the 70 year old originals. All face-framing was cut to nearest 0.5mm for installation of off-the-shelf doors and all gaps are a uniform 2-2.5mm. Thanks to this video, I'll go inset on a kitchen rebuild too as it's in a 100 year old house and inset has a classic look. Getting uniform gaps on 700mm high doors should be a doddle compared to 2040mm high doors!

    Hey Pete ! Have you tried the method I use where you cut everything perfectly - then alternate between adjusting and trimming until the door is useless but you see exactly where you need to be with the new one, I feel it gives me a greater appreciation of the mechanic’s involved and also . The cost of MDF.!!!!😳

  • @atexnik
    @atexnik 6 месяцев назад

    Before installing the hinges, I do calculations to find the most optimal position of the hinge cap and plate (in case of inlay doors or special 180° hinges). The formulas and tables are in catalogue. Also, I use special jig for drilling the cap hole and a self designed template which helps me precisely find the location of hinge plate holes without single measurement. I designed the template myself in Fusion 360 and then 3d printed it. Also I tend to use euroscrews instead of countersink screws, and I prefer the plates with quick adjustment screw. Blum has all the options in my country.

    in the U.S. hi end custom cabs gaps are 3/32 which is a little less than 2.5mm. we do a lot of thick door applications where any gap smaller than that risks binding. we typically do story poles for the run and only cut the doors once from that. we try to accomodate the trimming of the doors in the rail and stile sizes as well by milling the components and building the doors oversized by 3/16. those look like some heavy cabinets lol.

    Really good guide Peter. I recently priced kitchen cabinets up on line. There doors were 3mm under the width of the carcasses to allow all situations I guess.
    The recess doors I always found harder as nothing is square. Made some 2.3m doors for a bathroom in a 140 year old house in a cupboard made by a builder. It was only 12 mm out of plumb on one side and 8mm the opposite way on the other….. 🙈

    Nice work, as usual - thanks. I always assumed that if you shave 1mm off one side of a door, you would automatically shave the same amount off the other side - to keep the door internally symmetrical. However, it looks like those small differences don't matter, and that your trimming should aim to produce a correctly fitting SET of doors. Is that how you approach it ??

    well presented... question, in the shots in the finished room, does "England" call those shutters PLANTATION BLINDS or do you have an English term for them....

    Peter, I just noticed that your splinter guard on the track saw track is extra thick and silver or translucent (@2:45); it seems to have a nice well-defined edge. Do you have something special? I don't always trust the thin black rubber edge on mine when making precise cuts as the heat and humidity can make the adhesive loosen and cause the strip to move ever-so-slightly. I have a Milwaukee track saw and not the Festool so maybe that's just how the Festool tracks are. If so I may look into using that same splinter guard on my Milwaukee. I love the saw except for that part. Thanks!

    • @10MinuteWorkshop
      @10MinuteWorkshop  7 месяцев назад +3

      It’s the standard Festool splinterguard - they changed away from the rubber strip years ago; I actually prefer the rubber visually, but the translucent plastic is very hard wearing. 👍

      My last two festool rails came with the plastic splinter strips. Unfortunately they suffer from the glue softening too. I have to store them with spring clamps on each end, otherwise the last six inches of them unwind and fall off. Just bought Makita rubber strips to replace them.

    • @10MinuteWorkshop
      @10MinuteWorkshop  7 месяцев назад +2

      Max size of overlay is determined by the hinges - the spec for them will state that. And there’s a whole video on the topic of concealed hinges and an entire playlist about hinges, links in the description. 👍

    i see that you use MRMDF for your doors . That is very rare and expensive here in the U.S. We use Poplar for our door frames and mdf for the panels . I do not use tenons but inset the panel from the back with a half inch wide rabbet . With modern polyurethane glues the glue is stronger than the wood anyway. No i do not glue my panels because of high humidity in the summer and low in the winter because of forced air heating.

    • @10MinuteWorkshop

      Benefit of all MRMDF construction is that humidity, material movement etc.. is a non-issue, but I appreciate it can be hard to source in some places. 👍👍

    Que the kitchen fitters of the world for their tuppence worth (that will include me).
    I'd just deduct 4-5mm in total off the height and width. If the unit you made is 600mm x 720mm then the door is 595 x 715 or 596 x 716, that seems to be the standard sizing. I have come across doors a bit wider but that can be too tight for good adjustment and possible binding. I agreed that it's so important to make sure the units are straight, level and true. Any twist or tapered gaps at appliances makes it impossible to correct.

    • @10MinuteWorkshop
      @10MinuteWorkshop  7 месяцев назад +2

      Copy/paste from the video description; “So the ‘industry standard’ used in kitchen fits and the like are that doors should be the carcass height minus 5mm, and the carcass width, minus 4 mm, and that works well for most people in the business. But as bespoke makers I don’t think it’s unreasonable to aim for something with slightly higher tolerances, and this is how I do mine. Enjoy!”
      Yeah, that. 👍

    If you trim down your shaker doors down to get the right door gaps would you be making your rails and styles an uneven widths ? With only being a few mm here and there is it not noticable to the eye ?
    Or would you normally account for the door gaps when making the shaker doors initially so you keep the rails and styles all a uniform width ?

    • @10MinuteWorkshop

      Either way works, but your eyes are drawn to the gaps between the doors much more than the stiles them. 👍

  • @AndrewMcQuillen
    @AndrewMcQuillen 7 месяцев назад

    that is a great video but you glossed over the bit i always struggle with. that is where do you place your hinges. is there a standard position from the sides of a door and the front of a cabinet that the hinges need to be mounted. I too have used Blum hinges (mainly on uyour recomendation and what I fitted in my kitchen) sorry if this is covered in the fact sheet you mention.

    • @10MinuteWorkshop
      @10MinuteWorkshop  7 месяцев назад +1

      I’ve always put them at the same height as the width of the rails, so 80mm as a general starting point. If you’re all-in on the 32mm system then the heights are pre-ordained, but for custom work ~80mm centres works well for most common door sizes. 👍👍

    • @AndrewMcQuillen
      @AndrewMcQuillen 7 месяцев назад

      @@10MinuteWorkshop thanks for that but it was more the measurement from the side of the door and carcase to the hinge. I looked through the Blum catalog and it doesn't mentionwhy you would put the cup say 4mm in Vs 3mm in from the edge of the door and what is the corresponding measurement for the + shaped piece you clip the hinge into on the inside of the cabinet.

    I have a question. When you trim, you set your track on shims? Why? I know your MDF doesn't tear out much, but I thought the track should be in intimate contact with what you are cutting to minimize tearout? Thanks

    • @10MinuteWorkshop
      @10MinuteWorkshop  7 месяцев назад +1

      The raised panel extends beyond the face of the rails and stiles but 3mm, so for the face cuts I used shims to get the track level; not needed when the back of the door is uppermost, obviously. 👍

      You don’t have to use this method - most off the shelf kitchen and cabinetry companies use the standard ‘4mm narrower and 5mm shorter’ method, and it works for them. But as bespoke makers we can do better - and this is one way of doing that. 👍👍
