25 page printable booklet available free online at www.KissII.com
KISS IIAdvantages • Easy to layout different configurations of doors and drawers • Produce cabinets with minimal reveal at the top and bottom • Easy to produce cabinets of nearly any height • Unhanded end panels eliminate possible errors in assembly • Unhanded doors can be drilled with pre-set machine stops • System can be used with all types of drawer construction • System works with all types of drawer slides and systems • Liked size drawers all interchange regardless of position • Simple enough that everyone in the shop can understand
Cabinet Heights A chart of cabinet heights is provided in theKISSIIbooklet
Drilling starts 35mm from either end of the cabinet side wall 35mm 37mm 35mm
Door & Drawer Front Heights multiple of 32mm (minus 3mm) to produce 3mm reveals
Cabinet Increments The important column is the Increments column. This allows cabinets to be laid out using whole numbers rather than fractions Increments are multiples of 32mm (plus 6mm once) This means that because we are producing unhanded cabinets, our drilling will start at 35mm from either end of the end panel
Cabinet Configurations Easy to layout different configurations of doors and drawers
Examples We always want to work in Increments – these are the number of 32mm spaces that we have to work with when picking our doors and drawer fronts For our examples we will use a 24 Increment cabinet height I like to use the 24 increment cabinet because the 30-1/2” size produces a 36” height counter surface with a 4” toe kick and 1-1/2” counter top
Use whole numbers to design cabinets Here are examples of drawer fronts and doors for a 24 increment cabinet Here are examples of drawer fronts for 3 drawer cabinet
What they would look like These cabinets have a 5 increment (6-3/16”) top drawer
What they would look like Some Different sized top drawers
Metal Drawer Drilling (note some brands may drill differently) Drawer backs drill at 37.5mm x 12mm Drawer Back 12mm 37.5mm Drawer fronts drill at 25.5mm x Overlay + 9mm Drawer Front Overlay + 9mm 25.5mm
Locating Metal Drawer Cabinet Members • KISS IIbooklet has an easy formula to determine which holes to mount metal drawer cabinet members into before assembling cabinet
Unhanded Doors Doors drill on pre-set machines tops set to 78.5mm from either end of the door 78.5mm 78.5mm
Unhanded end panels and doors produce equal reveal top and bottom 4.5mm reveal 3mm reveal 4.5mm reveal
Building wood drawers Kiss II Booklet has a chart for sizing of drawer side heights, works with all types of drawer slides including bottom mount epoxy slides with in line rollers
