Perfect Pull Placement with Milescraft CabinetPro

At this point in the project, you've got much of time, and now we're at a point where we're Ready to drill holes for poles and knobs, and Boy, would it be a shame to get those holes in The wrong spot. I want to talk to you about Miles Kraft. Cabinet Pro jig. There's a lot of cool stuff going on here, and it makes getting these holes drilled easy. Bulletproof.

The guides are set up for a 316 split. The scale is direct read, whether you want to use inches or millimeters. That number is the distance from the center of that hole. So once I know what I want to do here for my drawer front, Where I want that pole to go, I can direct read off of there to make that happen. We're going to talk about some other features in just a second, But for now, let's look at the V-cut right there, into the ledge.

I've indicated the center on this drawer front, so this is very simple. I can align that V with my pencil line. And then, from there. I'm ready to punch my goal. So think about this application, a couple of things.

If I mark the center on all my door fronts, I can repeat, repeat, Repeat to ensure that this elevation is the same everywhere. Let's look at a couple of other things this jig can do for you. Different scenario. Let's look at drilling for a pole instead of for a knob. And that's why we've got multiple guides here.

We can play this in a couple of different ways. If I know this is on 3-inch centers, again, the jig is covered with direct-read. So I can come to 1.5 in there. And one inch and a half there. This is centering me on the jig.

If you're not certain about your math, another way we could play this is to use these. And what those do is give you alignment cones that I have here. Loose. I could use those cones in the holes. Pole in order to determine that distance, and then equally space those on center or off.

Center, whatever you need to do for your application, but that's a cool touch. It's a way to locate your guides without having to measure and do it manually Math on the pulse, in this case. I do know it's three inches. So we can go 1.5. 1.5 This fence gives me uniform distance.

This way, Once again, we can take advantage of the V. That indicates center to align on my pencil line here. Now, let me point out something while we're in this position, with all the guides close Together. If I do this. And this is 32 Millimeters from hole to hole to hole.

That means this could also be used to do adjustable shelf holes at 32-millimeter spacing. So, using the fence here to create your setback from the edge of a cabinet. We could drill, drill, drill in order to establish 32-millimeter spacing for shelf holes. So it's a cool little add-on feature. Let's next look at how we're going to handle doors.

Let's look at a door assembly here. Again, take advantage of direct reads. Once I know what the center of style is. I can set the fence. Based on where I want to locate the hole.

Then, once I know how far down I want the hole, I can use this ruler. In order to make that happen consistently, this will hang on the edge of the door. That's going to hang on the edge of the door and let me drill a hole. Because of the way it’s configured, it is reversible. So I can do left and right.

And, of course, if we were doing polls instead of knobs, we could have the other guides here In order to ensure that we can drill those holes on center. So, Register, register. Very consistent locations. Now, let's look at a scenario where the door was really, Really long. What can we do to get help?

Us. In a scenario with really tall doors, a pantry in a kitchen is a great example. You can add an extension to the Cabinet Pro That's going to let you locate even on those Taller doors. We could do that by registering off-bottom. Or registering off the top; from there, everything really is much the same going To allow that shoulder to engage there, that fence to engage there.

And the drill guides I showed you earlier could also go on this rail. So it gives you many options for getting your pole and knob holes drilled. The Cabinet Pro, if you're already familiar with Miles Kraft's other hardware jig model, The Model 1340; this is a heavier-duty version of that, And it's a pretty impressive array between the direct read. The drill guides, the way all the parts play together to give you a lot of options. It's an impressive way to ensure that when the hardware is used on this project, It's going on consistently, accurately, and in the perfect spot.
