šThe āCheat Sheetā for the Tambour Breadbox š
ā”ļøIf youāre coming over from YouTube, here is the breakdown of the track geometry Iām using for the latest Standish WoodStory build.
Getting a tambour door to slide smoothly around a 90-degree curve is all about the clearance. A few key takeaways from this setup:
* The Groove: I used a 1/4ā upcut bit set to a depth of 6.5 mm.
* The Frame: Notice the difference in depths for the top, back, and bottom groovesākeeping these at 9.5 mm provides the stability the carcass needs while the tambour does its thing.
