    Default Mini drawer slides

    G'day Doe's anyone know where I can purchase small drawer runners / slides in Australia ?

    The travel or depth required is 150mm to say 170mm travel

    Failing that I am looking for ideas to make a drawer in a box I am planning to make open and close smoothly .

    Hi Snapper,

    Couldn't you just use small timber runners inserted into the sides of your box that protrude out about 7 - 10 mm. Cut into the sides like a housing joint,..?

    What Paul said is a good way to make runners for small drawers.
    Have a look here at how small runners are fitted inside a box to locate the rebated drawers.

    And my head I'd be a scratchin'
    While my thoughts were busy hatchin'
    If I only had a brain.
