Hot take: I started using a 3/4 inch spacer block for drawer slide installs and it cut my time in half.
I was getting tired of measuring and marking each cabinet for undermount slides, so I grabbed a scrap piece of 3/4 plywood from a job in Tacoma last week. I just hold it against the cabinet side, set the slide on top, and screw it in, and it lines up perfect every time. Does anyone else use a jig or trick like this, or do you think it's better to measure each one?

Yeah but does it work with both 1/2 inch and 5/8 inch overlay doors or just standard full overlay? I messed around with a similar trick on a job but had to switch back to measuring when the cabinets were a weird size from a local shop. Just wondering if that spacer is universal enough for different setups.

Used to measure every single cabinet. Thought it was the only right way. Tried that spacer trick on a kitchen remodel last month. Changed my whole process. Now my slides are perfect and I save an hour per install.
