What is notch and bore on a dovetail drawer?

Explaining the use of notch and bore and different variations.

Notch & Bore refers to the modifications we make to the back of the drawer in order to accommodate undermount slides.

Here is an image of a standard notch and bore cut out for a Blum Tandem plus Blumotion slide. 

Notch and Bore

We can also create a wider notch to accommodate larger undermount slides, such as the Movento slides. When Movento slides are ordered with a set of drawers, we will automatically create the larger notch cut out in order to accommodate. 

Below are the different notch options we provide based on the undermount slide application: 

  • 1-3/8" - Blum Tandem, Salice Futura, Grass Dynapro, KV MuV+
  • 2" - Blum Movento, Salice Progressa, Accuride
  • 5" - Blum Movento with TIP-ON set
  • No - sidemount slides
