Drawer joint

[gj87]

How do you guys make your drawer joints on the cnc when using melamine?

I've been watching the videos on cabinetpartspro website but the video "edit drawers" doesn't load.

On a melimine box I make a full dado on all four sides. Butt joint the 2 sides and back. Glue the bottom in the dado. Apply the front of the box and clamp. Then I screw on the front from the inside of the box. Make sure you have some pilot holes.

I have also doweled them together with preglued dowels. But you need a horizontal bore machine to do this without a lot of trouble.

After a while I went to the Blum metabox on comercial jobs. Man what a time saver.
