Cutting Board Feet?

[Eric Schatz]

If you're one of those people who put feet on your cutting board what do you use? I'm definitely buying in bulk and cranking these out right now.
What about this? (https://www.amazon.com/Rubber-Bumper-Height-Screws-Washers/dp/B01GQOP5QC/ref=pd_sim_60_7?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=A06WHF7W89YQYYDAKDK8)

[Eric D Matson]

I used the ones in your first link from Amazon. I haven't had any complaints yet.

[Andy Giddings]

Tried something similar to those but the board slid all over the place due to the low surface area in contact with the worktop - ending up using some self adhesive discs similar to cupboard/drawer bumpers. I would make sure you use stainless fasteners. Your ebay vendor even recommends the improved version with stainless screws

It just shows how woodworkers think, I guess, I looked at the threat title and said "cutting board-feet?"

[Dan Hahr]

These are the nicest I've found. They work very well and are low profile.

That is exactly what I thought.

Those are the same I use as well. The smaller size you had in your link I felt were too tall and not enough surface contact.

I use cabinet door bumpers like these.

They are available from Rocklers

You can also use the door bumpers that they used on steel frame doors. Replacements can be purchased in quantity from Door Wholesale houses.

Ordered 100 for $10 plus shipping from Amazon. (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006WP617I/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) Thanks man.

Is there a reason you guys all choose ugly feet? How about a wood knob glued into a hole?

Enlarge that hole and glue a dowel into it and corresponding hole in the bottom of the cutting board. Pretty easy to get the measuring exact since it is straight from the corner. A small pad of rubber can be glued discreetly to the bottom of the knob. A lot of knobs can be used, if they aren't flat they can be sanded flat once they are on the board by rubbing the board back and forth over sandpaper glued to a flat surface.

Lee, I see they are silicone - is the material soft and non-slip on a typical kitchen worktop?

[Rick Johnston]

A wood knob will crack/split with moisture.
I have used corks from wine bottles. Sand on all sides to make attractive and glue to the board. Typically 1/2" height.
My wife saves corks so I have had about 3 gallons off them to pick through ones to get ones that match. So far I have not knocked them off.

Pretty clever!

And you can convince yourself you are doing something for the environment!!

Don't want to hijack this thread.......- I've debated feet over routered finger groove on the ends. That allows use on both sides. Somewhat personal preference. Opinions?

Me too. I drill a 5mm hole and use some silicon glue. Lee Valley carries them too and a bigger version as well:

As a former chef I would prefer to use both sides of the board. Use the non slip type of shelf liner to keep it from slipping.

[Frank Drackman]

I buy in bulk from McMaster Carr. Item description is: Round Bumper, Rubber, 1/2" Diameter, 1/4" H, 17/64" Counterbore, with Washer

[Lee Schierer]

Yes they are non-slip. I used them on our knife block.

Thanks Lee

[Mark Carlson]

I like rubber feet because it keeps the board from slipping around on the counter and keeps the board from being left in puddle of water while drying. I still do the finger groove on the ends.

I use these: http://tinyurl.com/Cutting-Board-FeetPrior to screwing them in, I bore a 1/16" deep hole with a forstner bit to hold them I'm place. I like how the board sits at that height. Works great for me. Of course you can't see the feet on this board.

There's no reason I can think of that moisture would cause a knob to crack. Is it sitting in water? My suggestion included padding on the bottom of the know which would act as a moisture barrier, if necessary.

I thought we couldn't post links to ebay items........

[Ellen Benkin]

I buy rubber bumpers from Home Depot. You can get various sizes and colors. Eventually they dry out and crack but are easily replaced.

[David Spurr]

Yep, me too.

[john bateman]

I use rubberized cork discs, 1.25" x .25"

I use a forstner bit to make a 1/8" deep recess, then silicone glue to hold the disc in the recess. Should last forever.
