Hi folks, new here. Getting close to retirement and hoping to do wood working most of the day going forward. Just going through the motions of getting equipment, deciding on layout (2 car garage) and figuring out what more electrical I need to put in.
In the middle of my first big project for my wife's sewing room. I am doing three base cabinets, each with a top drawer and a bottom pull out (for machines, large attachments, etc).
My issue is slide troubleshooting. All three top drawers work in all three slots but in some combinations, I run into one issue I don't know how to fix. With the drawer all the way in, the lower right hand side is a little spongy. You can press on the drawer side piece on the left side and its very solid. But when pressing on the right side, its a little proud and spongy, guessing about an 1/8" of play. I can move the drawers around and it doesn't appear to be one drawer box or one cabinet opening. I can live with it as is but I see a lot of drawers in my future so I need to get a firm grasp on install and troubleshooting these issues.
I had started with both my cabinet and drawer pieces flush with the face face but am now finding out I should probably set both back about 1/8", which I am in the process of doing.
I really feel both my boxes and cabinets are square so I think I am doing something wrong in the placement of the slide pieces. I started with Promark full ext, soft close but have changed out to ProSeries, full ext, NOT soft close. I did not have this issue with Promark but I no longer want the soft close feature.
Thanks for any pointers
