Drawer slides, what kind and where to buy ?

Most side mount full extension ball bearing guides will have a 75lb capacity or more. You can get them in numerous lengths. The drawer would need to be 1” smaller then the opening. I use KV side mount. For most projects I use Blums tandem undermount guides. These are nice but pricey, probably to pricey for the shop. You can also get the white epoxy guides too. If you need to hold up a lot of weight KV makes some file drawer guides that are great as well. So basically I’d say KV. LOL Although there are cheaper knock offs of them, as well as more expensive ones. HTH

Excellent prices and service!

I just used the slides from Homedepot – ~$6-$8 a pair if I remember correctly for the full extension (depending on length).

homedepot, lowes, rockler.com all carry those.

EDITED: lew – thanks for the link – these ARE good prices, and quite a bit of selection – impressive.

They have major brands, generic, lowest prices that I have found. On the one order I placed they shipped next day.

Lew, The drawer slides from CSH are 1/3 the price of KV sllides. Have you used them before and are the descent quality. I am building cabinets for my shop and I need about 30 slides. I would like to mount them to the side of the face frame and secure them to the back panel. K.V. has brackets for the rear that you purchased seperatly. The drawers fronts will be surface applied. thanks
