Finally got my drawer fronts to line up perfectly after three tries

I kept seeing gaps at the top edges on my last few projects. The trick was adjusting the mounting plate on the undermount slides by a sixteenth before the final screw down. Anyone else fight with this on inset cabinetry?

Spent a whole weekend on that exact same problem, and that tiny adjustment was the key for me too.

It's funny how those small fixes can eat up so much time, right @david562? Reminds me of when I was trying to get my old bike's gears to shift smoothly. I messed with the cable tension for hours before realizing the derailleur itself was just a bit bent. Sometimes the answer is staring you right in the face, but you're looking in the wrong spot. Makes that final click when it works all the more satisfying.

Yeah, did you ever notice how the last thing you check is usually the one that fixes it? I've learned to start with the easy stuff first, saves me a lot of headaches.
