In between cost drawer slides?

[Dan Karachio]

I'm wondering, can anyone recommend a good drawer slide that is somewhere between the cheapo ones at Lowes and a Blum blu-motion? I'm building a sort of utility cabinet and would like to have smooth running drawers (6) and maybe even soft close, though keeping the cost down to... I don't know, 10-$15 per drawer?

Try eBay, combining Bing with the Buy It Now price I was able to score 20 of 22" Hettich 100 lb. full extension slides for something like $130, by far the cheapest price I was able to find.

Not soft-close, but good slides.

I have had good luck with these KVTT100 B 28 from Woodworkers Hardware.

undermount

[James Evans]

i bought some soft close undermount from Woodworkers Depot in Greeen Bay, WI for $30 for a pair. . you can get them online frome them also.

I just got a set of 12" full extension slides for a fish tank stand drawer. Made by Shop Fox, ordered at Amazon... like $10 for the pair... very happy with them! 100lb rating, very smooth slides.

KV8400's are cheap, ugly, and will work fine in a utility enviroment.
22" cost me $8.50 a set.
If they're going to be holding anything heavy, fill every available mounting hole with screws.

FWW did a review of undermount slides ~1-2 years ago. Worth looking at the index or checking your local library.

The Hettich Quattro was the 'best value' and I used them in a small chest of drawers -- they work well and were pretty easy to set up.

Only thing I say is dont get KVs. There smooth but like molasses. Like pushing through petroleum.

1. They need weight to work well. Even with similar style slides, they seem to work better once they wear in.
2. Making sure the drawer and the opening are square and correctly sized helps, alot. There's alot of fudge room where they'll work, but when its perfect they work quite well.
3. Chain lube for motorcycles to lube the slides. Works awesome. I made a large (23"d-84"t-12"w), pullout pantry with 2 set of 8400's, 1 set at the top 1 set at the bottom. It was a bit big for the opening, and wasn't operating as smoothly as I would've liked. A bit a chain lube on all the bearing surfaces and it went in/out like butter. Quieter too.

I used these on my shop drawers. They hold a quite a bit of weight. $16 / pair.

I've been buying Ferrari Drawer Slides for about 7 years now. Never had a complaint. They are extremely cheap (around $6 for an 18 inch) full extension up to 100 lbs. per drawer. They look just like the ones you buy from Rockler or Woodcraft but they have no name stamped on them. Probably are made in China. I've purchased mine from Mckinley Hardwoods in Oklahoma City and Amarillo Hardwoods and Albuquerque Hardwoods.

Ouch, but nearly $50 shipping for 2 packs. Looks like same slides are also sold on the 'bay with lower shipping, at least google shopping makes it appear that way. I'll check them out tonight.

I 2nd...I've used them too and they do work well. When I built my shop cabinets, I purchased a couple dozen of them and they've lasted well.

I agree. I've used them a couple of times. Once loaded, they slide just fine.

[Steven Wayne]

I bought some from this guy (http://www.ebay.com/itm/Full-Extension-Ball-Bearing-Drawer-Slides-100lb-15-PACK-/120737150778?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&var=&hash=item61cbfde352#ht_500wt_1156). $102.51 for 15, yes FIFTEEN pair, SHIPPED!! I don't know of a better deal. The slides are great. I'll be ordering more.

undermount

I second this post. I learned about CSH from this forum and buy just about all my hardware from them. Hettich slides and hinges at a great price from some very reputable people. A+ in my book.
