jorgesinghdh Posted November 19, 2011 Report Share Posted November 19, 2011 Dear Friends I am working (plans) in some plywood wall kitchen cabinets, i will use formica laminate on them. I want to use those very convenient blum hangers, i am using 3/4 birch plywood and 1/4 plywood for the back of the cabinet fastening everything with screws that will be hidden under the laminate. My question is how can I attach the 1/4 plywood in the back without using a dado or a rabbet and still be able to use the blum hangers???? My second option is to use a french cleat, but i am afraid that i will not be able to do minor adjustments once the cabinets are mounted. Note: I have a router but not a router table and dados and rabbets are still a little bit complicated for my woodworking level.

dwacker Posted November 19, 2011 Report Share Posted November 19, 2011 You need a nailer on the back side. Id skip the hangers. fwiw 1/4 is a terrible cab back. 1/2 is much nicer and will support the uppers on the wall. Id spend some time figuring out how to rabbet the backs. A dado blade is the easiest.
