Woodhaven 786: Kurka Jig - Manual (Page 4)

FRAMELESS CABINETS
The Kurka Jig is ideally suited to these types of
cabinets because it will drill most, if not all, of the wing
plate holes, drawer glide mounting holes and shelf pin
holes. You can even install the hardware (wing plates
and drawer glides) prior to assembly, eliminating having
to reach into a cramped cabinet. Make sure you have
edgebanded the cabinet sides before using the Kurka Jig.
FRAMELESS DRAWER & DOOR MARGINS
In the case of all base cabinets, there is a 6mm
margin between the top of the door and the top of the
cabinet, allowing clearance for the countertop. The bottom
of the doors are flush with the toe kick, or the bottom of
the cabinet if you’re using separate cabinet levelers.
Depending on the base cabinet configuration, (see
Frameless Base Chart) there will be a 3mm to
4mm margin between all doors or drawers.
In the case of all upper cabinets and utility cabinets,
there is a 2mm margin between the top and bottom of
the door and the cabinet for clearing any mouldings that
may be added. NOTE: Moldings obviously are not used
on the bottom of utility cabinets, but to maintain an equal
hinge spacing, utility cabinets need to have this margin.
FRAMELESS TOE KICKS
The dimensions given in the Cabinet Heights Chart do
not include a toe kick. These dimensions are for bases with
separate cabinet levelers, and all upper & utility cabinets.
If you prefer to make your cabinets with a built-in toe kick,
add 108mm (4-1/4") to the cabinet height provided. For
example, if you make a kitchen base cabinet with separate
levelers, you’ll cut the sides 786mm (30-1/4") long. If you
want a built-in toe kick, add 108mm to 768mm for a total
cabinet side height of 876mm (34-1/2"). Just make sure to
place the toe kick cutout 108mm up from the bottom.
FRAMELESS 35MM HINGE SPACING
In order to maintain the correct hinge cup spacing on
the doors, the Cabinet Heights chart on the right gives the
necessary dimensions for cabinets up to a height of 2144mm
or 84-13/32". It is important that the Cabinet Heights
(length of the cabinet sides) be cut to these dimensions
to maintain the correct hinge spacing on the doors. While
we have rounded the metric dimensions to the nearest inch
dimension (in 32nds of an inch), we highly recommend that
you use a metric tape measure and cut to the metric sizes
for best results. The Cabinet Widths are not as critical and
can be made to the dimensions given, or adjusted to suit.
On a door & drawer base cabinet (Refer to Frameless
Base Chart: B1D), the door hinge spacing is 96mm from the
top and bottom of the door to the hinge cup center. NOTE:
Vanity height cabinets are rarely used, having been replaced
by the more popular kitchen height base cabinets. If you
need a Vanity Cabinet Chart, we can send you one for free.
On a full door base cabinet (Refer to Frameless
Base Chart: BD), the door hinge spacing is 90mm from
the top of the door to the hinge cup center and 96mm
from the bottom of the door to the hinge cup center.
This is the only cabinet where the top and bottom hinge
cup spacing differs. This style cabinet is rarely used but if
you need it, this is the hinge spacing you need to follow.
On upper cabinets 320mm to 480mm tall, the correct
hinge spacing is 62mm from the top and bottom of the door
to the hinge cup center. On 544mm and taller uppers, plus
all utility cabinets, the correct hinge spacing is 94mm from
the top and bottom of the door to the hinge cup center.
USING THE KURKA JIG ON FRAMELESS CABINETS
Make sure you have edgebanded the cabinet sides
before using the Kurka Jig. Except for some utility cabinets,
always index the Kurka Jig against the top front of the
cabinet side, clamping them together to insure nothing
moves. Use the Right Kurka Jig on the right hand cabinet
sides and the Left Kurka Jig on the left hand cabinet sides.
The Frameless Cabinet Charts provide the dimensions
for the drawer and door heights, plus all mounting holes.
Just drill the numbers indicated for that particular cabinet
style. We do not show the locations for the second (or
third) drawer glide holes (these will be determined
by the glide you use), or any shelf pin holes.
There are only two drawer box heights needed for
frameless cabinets, 102mm (4") and 240mm (9-1/2").
