Always good to have alternatives and competition - Blum is pretty dominant in many markets from what I gather. I do wonder about the stabilizer, or rather lack of that option from Salice though: In our kitchen we have a few 1m wide, 30cm deep drawers, and without the stabilizer trying to pull the drawer open on a corner (or close to one) would simply wedge it against the carcass. Would the Salice slides be so stiff sideways that they really don't need that stabilizer? BTW that stabilizer has nothing(*) to do with push open; it's just to stop wide, short drawers like ours to "twist" when pulled or pushed by the corners. *: There's a separate synchronizer for push open where the stabilizer is not needed that functions the same as Salice's by linking the mechanisms. I'm assuming that if the stabilizer is installed the synchronizer is not needed.
@DavidSzpiech5 ай бұрын
The synchronization feature in the Salice slides makes the stabilizer bar unnecessary. I saw a video where a guy put his 150 lb wife inside a drawer shut it and pushed to open it was amazing.
@koma-k5 ай бұрын
@@DavidSzpiech that example doesn't say anything about how rigid it is in "extreme" cases like mine though: Would you be able to push it closed *by the corner* if the drawer was 1m wide and only 30cm deep, or would it twist enough to wedge itself against the carcass like the Blum does? The lack of that stabilizer means one of two things: Either the slides themselves are so extremely rigid they won't let the drawer twist, or they haven't had too many cases like mine. It could be interesting to test...

As someone that’s done every aspect of cabinetry. I say with confidence that it’s the installers opinion that matters the most on the quality of the hardware. I look forward to trying these, but having not used them, I can say with little hesitation that Grass are the best. The Moventos are good, but they just aren’t as seamless as the grass and they have more deflection at full extension. Sometimes you can tell quality engineering by how simple they make complex functions feel to use.

That racking mechanism has a plastic interface gear, and if someone, for instance, falls against an open drawer, it looks like it's a weak point, and could fail easily under a "differential load".... Just a thought.
@HowievYT2 ай бұрын
It was my first thought too. They look like a guaranteed failure point but I think the design accounts for this. Assuming the runners cannot slip sideways, the cog is only dealing with the rolling resistance forces as the runner extends or retracts, no vertical or horizontal loads. You'd hope the tolerances in the runners were fairly tight.

So far the best I’m finding for Salice is roughly $240 before taxes for 6 pairs of slides and clips.

Good timing. I was just looking at drawer slides for my miter station build. Not really planning on undermounts for this project though but this was still very good information. Side note, that loose flap of veneer on your miter station drawer is awfully distracting! I'm sure you have the glue in that shop to get that thing fixed!

For the life of me I can't find pricing. Their website shows me a distributor, maybe I need to call to find out... Edit. Amazon. 62 bucks for 21 inch

I must admit, It looks great, but I have some doubts, since everything is made cheap these days, so there is a high chance of failure. The old construction is full metal and simple, so it can last longer. While this new design is more complicated, means it gives more space for errors. Also, the use of plastic parts in critical elements is very dangerous in the long term.

Seems odd not to even mention warranty.

Not one mention of the price in this video or on their website, so these are likely more than anyone can afford. But hey, you got them free and get to make content so yay i guess.

Well…… there is no price on the website because they are a distributor. I didn’t quote a price cause they are set by a retailer. If you want to know the price, check with a retailer.

The Progressa line specifically seems to be very hard to find in North AMerica. I've only found them at Hafele.
